Many fans of the show were confused to see Hudson as a Battle Advisor, since she’s primarily known as an actress, but she’s recently dove into the world of music. Taking inspiration from well-known film, Almost Famous, Hudson decided to launch her music career in January 2024. In present day, she has released her debut album, Glorious. This album was released on January 31, 2025.

When announcing Hudson as his Battle Advisor, Adam Levine explained his choice, saying “Kate Hudson is a household name and has been for years, and now she’s venturing into this new career, which is awesome,” he said in a confessional interview.

Hudson’s time on The Voice is alongside the release of her new Netflix comedy series, Running Point. The series is so popular that it has already been confirmed for a second season.
