Chrissy Metz Addresses 'This Is Us' Spinoff Speculation & New Music
After wrapping up six seasons as Kate Pearson on This Is Us on NBC this past spring, award-winning actress Chrissy Metz is looking ahead to a rather musical future. In an exclusive with PopCulture.com to talk about her partnership with Capital One Auto Navigator, the multitalented recording performer shared how after two years debilitated by a pandemic, she's finally releasing new music this year and will tease several fresh tracks on her upcoming seven-city tour kicking off Aug. 9 in Washington, D.C. to Sept. 1 in Nashville, Tennessee.
"There is a ton of new music — I'm so excited to share," Metz told PopCulture. "It's been a long time coming. It's like you're about to — you're off the blocks ready to race and it was a false start, and you're like, 'Oh cool. Cool,' and that's sort of how the last two years have really felt, I'm sure, for everybody." Adding how "grateful" she is to be able to even just share music, Metz said it was a chapter in her life she wanted so "desperately" to move forward with. "I was like, 'Whatever it takes, let's go!' And so the songs, we just recorded, [there are] about five new ones that I'll be playing [on tour]."
