Following the release of her new album, Kate Hudson took to praising Madonna for inspiring her love of pop music.
Appearing on the Howard Stern Show, Kate gushed over the Queen of Pop, saying, “Madonna was my hero. I mean — oh, my god. I think she was every young girl's hero.”
The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star recalled how she met Madonna when she was a kid. She said the Popular singer called her home when she was dating Warren Beatty.
“You know when I met Madonna? When she was with Warren Beatty and I was a little girl,” she shared. “She actually called the house and Oliver [Kate's brother] answered the phone one time 'cause Warren was at the house.”
“We were just frozen,” she recalled.
“Oliver was like, ‘It's Madonna!’” she said, mimicking her brother’s reaction.
Sharing the clip on his Instagram account, Stern wrote, “katehudson was just a kid when she met madonna for the first time after her idol called the house and her brother theoliverhudson answered the phone.”
Kate’s debut album, titled Glorious, will be released on May 17 and contains 12 songs.
Speaking about finally releasing music after a thriving acting career, Kate previously told Today: "I got very famous very young, and especially at that time, that (music) dream kind of just went to the side a little for many years.”
"This idea that I was too afraid to share my music, it was like scratching at me to say, 'Why do I have this fear? I need to put my music out in the world.' Whether people like it or not," she explained.
