Video footage of the “Almost Famous” actress’ performance, shared on YouTube, started by showing an excited Kate gearing up to sing backstage.

She proceeded to give a powerful and soulful rendition of the holiday classic “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” belting out the lyrics to the song with the accompaniment of a talented band and backup singers.

“Christmas came early for me 🎁 Dreams do come true ✨The Grand Ole Opry and my favorite Christmas song ✨ ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ live from the @opry ✨🎄 Tune in to @littlebigtown ‘Christmas at the Opry’ special this Monday, December 16 at 8/7c on @nbc,” captioned Kate alongside the video.

Another echoed, “Wow great voice! Who knew! [sic],” while a fellow admirer exclaimed, “Girl why did you starve the world of your voice until now!?? Good lord you can sing!!!” Fellow industry heavy hitter Naomi Watts chimed in with, “Goosebumps Kate!! 🙌❤️🙌.”

More complimentary and surprised comments ensued, with yet another admirer praising, “I can’t believe she’s been hiding this talent all of these years!! So glad she is doing this 🎄❤️🙌.” “What an incredible voice! 🎄,” marveled a fan.

“Amazes me when someone is born beautiful, famous for acting, and then pulls out a wild card talent that was kept undercover for so long. Talented in so many ways,” penned a fellow fan.

As the fans correctly pointed out, Kate’s dad, Bill, who is also an actor, is widely recognized as a musician who used to be a vocalist in a group called The Hudson Brothers.

However, Kate’s father is not the only parent she had to look up to regarding her music journey, as her iconic mother, Goldie Hawn, has created music in the past as well.

With two parents who have both built successful careers as actors and artists, it’s no wonder where Kate acquired her entertainment talents.

In September, Kate spoke about her relationship with acting and music during a conversation with Tom Power on his show “Q with Tom Power.”

“There was never a question that I wanted to be on stage […] even before I knew what my parents really did, or my father did,” added the singer.

“In my mind, I was a performer from when I was […] like my daughter’s age. I can see it in her. You can see it in certain kids. They’re just drawn to it in a way that […] it must be in the DNA,” shared Kate.

She went on to explain that although acting also requires extreme vulnerability, one at least always has the opportunity to “hide behind someone else’s words or someone else’s vision,” barring people who are directors or producers.

“There’s something about writing your own music and putting it out into the world and hoping that it’s received warmly, or at least like, gently, and it’s […] always gonna be highly critical, and so, you’re really putting yourself out there,” disclosed Kate.

“But music was always — that was always my number one and then I think it just started to become this thing where I just started to get too afraid to put it out there […] I think that if I put something out at that time in my life and had like […] real rejection […] I think it would have been really, really hard for me,” admitted Kate.

“It felt like I jumped off the Grand Canyon, but fell on a beautiful pillow, and it was like […] ‘I love this. I wanna jump again!'” she explained regarding how it felt to confront her fear and release music.

She continued, “It was my first love, and I’ve been writing music my whole life, and I just thought it was something I’d only have for myself until Covid, and then I was like, ‘Wait, I don’t know — I’ll regret not just putting it out in the world,’ and so I did.”
