My photos app keeps crashing

I have an 21.5in 2017 iMac and when I open the photos app it opens on the splash screen. I click Get Started. I then get a popup saying "An unexpected error has occurred. Please quit and restart the application. I hit OK and it immediately crashes. This happens every time I try opening the app.

iMac 21.5" 4K, macOS 10.14

Hold the option command key when you launch the Photo.app will it allow you to try a rebuild?
