Music is Sia's directorial debut and has also received nominations for best picture, musical and a comedy too, despite having not even been released in America yet. The film also stars Maddie Ziegler and Leslie Odom Jr.

Kate plays free-spirited Zu – an addict estranged from her family – in the movie, who suddenly finds herself the sole guardian of her half-sister, played by Maddie, who is on the autism spectrum.

Zu's sister's special abilities challenge Zu and she learns to overcome the obstacles she is facing in life with help from their neighbor Ebo (Leslie).

What's more, according to Variety, Kate was cast by Sia via Instagram, after the singer saw an Instagram post of the star singing.

In the film, Kate rocks a very different look, having shaved her hair for the part of Zu. The movie was made back in 2018 and at the time, the actress caused a sensation after stepping out with a shaved buzzcut.

Kate revealed that the haircut was "liberating" in an interview on Lorraine that March. "There's something so liberating about it," she told chat show host Lorraine Kelly. "I really loved it, I actually miss it."

She then went on to add: "I honestly think that a woman in her life at one point needs to just chop it all off," before explaining that people would look at her differently when she was rocking the bold look.

The star also revealed that it was Sia and her son Bingham who were the ones who shaved her head for her.
