AceShowbiz - Kate Hudson is preparing for the upcoming 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles with a captivating new promotional video. The actress and musician delivers a heartfelt performance of the 1966 classic "California Dreamin’" by the Mamas & the Papas in the recently released clip.
The promo, which aired on NBC as the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics concluded on Sunday night, features Hudson singing the iconic song with soulful emotion. The visuals highlight prominent athletes expected to compete in the 2028 Games, interspersed with scenic shots of Los Angeles, the host city.
Kate Hudson shared the video on her Instagram account, captioning it, "Built on California dreams, powered by Olympic and Paralympic champions." This message underscores the spirit and energy driving the Los Angeles Olympics.
The Los Angeles Summer Olympics, officially known as LA28, are scheduled to take place from July 14 to July 30, 2028. The event was initially previewed during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. That ceremony featured performances by notable artists such as Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg, and H.E.R., who helped build excitement for the future Games in L.A.
The 2024 closing ceremony also included a memorable stunt by actor Tom Cruise, who rappelled down the stadium in Paris, interacted with athletes, and symbolically transitioned the Games to Los Angeles by attaching the Olympic flag to his motorcycle and then placing the Olympic logo on the Hollywood sign in a prerecorded segment. The ceremony shifted its atmosphere from Paris to Venice Beach with a live performance of "The Next Episode" by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.
This year's Winter Olympics showcased exceptional talent and sportsmanship among the world's top athletes, highlighted by a notable gold medal victory by U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu.
