Kate Hudson Performs for Family and A-List Friends (Including Leonardo DiCaprio!) at Private NYC Show

Kate Hudson celebrated the upcoming release of her debut album with an intimate private performance for her nearest and dearest.

The actress, 45, performed a showcase for friends and family at Casa Cipriani in New York City on Sunday, May 5, and the set drew A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio and Hudson’s Glass Onion costar Daniel Craig, as well as special guests like her son Ryder.

Ryder, 20, sat at a table right next to the stage with a group of friends, and even sweetly sang along with his mom during her song “Live Forever,” which Hudson has said was written about their bond.

“I almost cried!” Hudson said after finishing the song with her son, whom she shares with ex-husband Chris Robinson. (The star is also mom to son Bingham, 12, with musician Matt Bellamy of Muse, and daughter Rani, 5, with fiancé Danny Fujikawa.)

Also in attendance were famous friends, including Zach Braff, Stella McCartney, Bruce Bozzi and Bryan Lourd, Derek Blasberg and Brian Atwood.

Hudson is set to release her debut album Glorious on May 17, and her performance included a selection of original music off the new record, including “Gonna Find Out,” “Live Forever,” “Talk About Love” and “Love Ain’t Easy.”

The Almost Famous star also showed her range, singing covers by artists from Smokey Robinson and Bonnie Raitt to the War on Drugs and the Grateful Dead.

Hudson made her TV performance debut as a singer on Thursday, May 2, performing “Gonna Find Out” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

She told the comedian that her album has been two-and-a-half years in the making, and that music was her “first love.”

“I’ve been writing music my whole life,” she said. “I just thought it was something I’d only have for myself until, like, COVID. And then I was like, ‘I’ll regret not just putting it out in the world.’ So I did.”

Hudson revealed that Glorious includes rock, soul, country, Americana and pop songs, which she co-wrote with Linda Perry and Fujikawa.

"It was so much fun because I'd never had like a collaborative writing experience. We just had like a weird, awkward first date, and sat around in a circle," Hudson joked of the start of the writing process.
