"Because I just don't care anymore". Right on Kate ... aging has it's issues, but not giving a flying eff what anyone thinks is one of the perks of growing old.

Having a ton of money, like she does, sure helps.

But the cosmetic surgery steer clear your mom looks bad

[@CherylBerryl]

True. But I really don't consider her "old". Even though the music industry might. Plus, she's very youthful looking too. Being wealthy can certainly buy you The Best in skincare providers & skincare treatments & products, which certainly contribute to her youthful good looks! I LOVE her spunky rebellious spirit w/ her response to "the industry guy" who said to her "your too old". "F*CK YOU!" Right On Kate! I'm just So Sick & Tired of men "writing our story" for us! Meanwhile, REALLY Old & Old looking, Fat, & Out of shape men are on stage performing till they are practically ready to drop dead ON Stage! LOL! Whereas, Kate has "got it goin' on!" And her voice sounds AMAZING! I hope that she shows 'em All, & her album goes Platinum! I'm going to help support her by buying it!

I see so much of Goldie in her. What a fantastic voice and stage presence. You can tell she's having fun.

[@Prof_Jeff]

Agree. I've seen it in her ever since she was in her late teens and early 20s.

As a person that's been in the music business for over 50 years, she can actually REALLY sing! Good for you Kate and keep it up! You have a beautiful voice!

[@heathermunoz6282]

Her smoking habit contributes to that raspiness ... As it did with Pink, before she quit ...

Goldie Hawn has to be really proud of her daughter, taking herself to new heights in her career. Always been fascinated with Kate Hudson’s acting and films, and with her new path towards singing, it makes me love her even more.

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Her voice sounds great, can't wait to hear her album! ✨

[@cynthiapaulo4138]

I teared up right with her! I think all moms felt that. Love that she doesn't care anymore, and is sharing her musical talent with the world. Cheers to you Kate!!

She's got a great voice and actress I wish her good luck and hope this is her 2nd career

[@lauralarrabee7870]

I still remember right after Ryder was born, Kate had to lose the baby weight to film Skeleton Key. And now the kid is off to college. Time flies by for sure. So good to see how much she loves her kids.

The guitarist most visible, and probably the band leader is Joshua Ray Gooch. Gooch for 8 yrs was Shania Twain's lead guitarist. Besides Gooch, the incredible drummer Elia Wood, bassist Derek Frank, and Twain's band leader Cory Churko made up probably one of the best backing bands ever. Gooch earned this.

[@paulbunch5657]

Her voice reminds me of Pam Tillis's voice. Meant as a huge compliment. I think that Pam Tillis's voice is definitely underrated.

[@batchjs]

She is gonna KICK IT!! Can't wait to hear more music from Kate Hudson!

[@lauraapotter7911]

I love this! I'm surprised how good she sounds because I only remember her singing with Mathew McConaughey on " How to lose a guy in 10 days". She is such a sweety

[@jayb.4126]

Have always loved Kate Hudson...she has the sweetest smile....she's a great mom....she sings so beautifully, cannot wait to buy her music. Go Kate!

[@danielaion2457]

Music is not about how old you are- she is a true pioneer in women taking the stage with wisdom and knowledge that will speak to the masses. People that say such think obviously missed out on their life purpose and have to squash others life purpose. Kate is a breath of fresh air and will make some massive dents in the music world.

[@carrielassiter8455]

I love Kate Hudson and her album is GREAT!!! I am so shocked and surprised at how awesome the writing, the music, the vocals, the band, the overall performance is…Stunning. I’m a huge fan already and I know what’s good. She’s good. ❤

[@wardarcade7452]

I hope Miss Hudson keeps in mind that there have been folks who constantly told Dolly Parton SHE couldn't pursue her dreams of singing, songwriting or performing and in 2024, here she is at 78 STILL doing all the above despite the naysayers and incredible odds!

[@heyou702pc]

She sounds so good. Can't wait to hear the album.

[@emptylikebox]

I hope that what Kate has done can give inspiration to people 30s and above to go after their dreams. We should stop obsessing on kids and teenagers, they should enjoy their youth and experience life. People with life experience and who really know what they want should be given the chance.

[@kelvynification]

She looks like her mother Goldie... BUT she also looks like her father Bill Hudson and is a great balance of both.

[@kristencobb230]

It’s impossible not to love her! So genuine and talented ❤

[@rubytuesdayphoenix]

It's interesting to see her embrace her musician side after all those years of her and her brother repeatedly publicly disowning their dad, which is mainly where they get their musician skills. Good on her for taking that step.

[@thenitenurse22]

I agree. She publicly disowns her dad but has had relationships with musicians and now she wants to do sing for a living. Thank God she founded Fabeltics because her acting career was going down the drain. I'm pretty sure this is how her music career will tank in a few years.

[@user-pc3xb4hd8i]

@@thenitenurse22That was Goldie’s doing the kids were taught their father was a bad person. It really doesn’t matter if her music career ‘tanks’ or not shes having fun and she has it all.

[@adelaferreira4575]

Wow you people are awful and wrong,her mother is also a great singer,she doesn’t Bragg about it ,Goldie could act,dance and sing like the best of her generation ,on the other hand ,Bill Hudson is just another musician with a much lesser career then his ex wife and daughter ,Kate’s talent comes more from her mum for sure !

[@Kim-oo9vv]

I was shocked to hear her mention him and then call him "Dad." She has always been negative about him and said Kurt was her father. Now, that she is trying to be a musician, she allows him to be in the picture. I adore Goldie but I do think there was probably some "parent alienation" at play between Kate and her father. No matter, though, they all have money and will be just fine. Most of us are just trying to survive this God-awful position we are all in! God bless America and the entire world!!!! 🙏 ❤

[@thenitenurse22]

@@adelaferreira4575 Let's be real. She was a mediocre actress. Bunch of rom com movies. She has a nice voice but I've heard better ones on "the voice". Her name will sell records and some shows but she's too old at this stage of her life to stage a music career. Fabelitics is providing her income to do her silly hobbies like singing.

[@bobsiyt6548]

She really has a good voice - and those songs are actually pretty good. When this first started, I rolled my eyes and was expecting to cringe. Nope. Good for her! She’s right though, when you’re a major movie star, it’s so hard to try to do music at the same time and be taken seriously. You can be a singer and do movies at the same time, but being an actor/actress and doing music at the same time is much more difficult. She was smart to wait, because this is the right time for her. I’m rooting for her!
