AceShowbiz - Kate Hudson delivered a captivating performance during the LA28 promotional video aired near the end of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics broadcast on NBC. While it wasn’t as daring as Tom Cruise rappelling from a stadium roof, the Oscar nominee’s vocal talent was prominently showcased as she sang the classic tune California Dreamin’.
Kate Hudson’s rendition of the song, familiar to fans of her film Song Sung Blue and her album work, accompanied a visually stunning montage highlighting athletes anticipated to play key roles in the 2028 Summer Olympics. The video also featured breathtaking scenes of Los Angeles, spanning iconic locations such as Downtown, Venice Beach, Inglewood, Griffith Park, Hollywood, San Pedro, Santa Monica, and Century City.
The original 1963 hit by The Mamas & the Papas was penned during a particularly harsh winter in New York when Michelle Phillips longed for the warmth of Southern California. In a contemporary twist, Kate Hudson’s warm vocals, paired with golden-toned imagery, likely stirred a similar yearning for California among East Coast viewers.
The promotional spot not only served to build excitement for the 2028 Olympics but also created synergy with Kate Hudson’s film Song Sung Blue, which was released by NBCUniversal’s Focus Features and is currently available to stream on Peacock.
Fans can watch the inspiring LA28 video to experience this celebration of California’s spirit and the upcoming Olympic Games.
