The 22-year-old pop star secured Nicole Kidman’s approval before releasing a song named after the Oscar-winning actress.

Rising pop star Adela has revealed the story behind her song Nicole Kidman, a track from her record PRIMA that pays tribute to the legendary actress.

The 22-year-old singer explained that she wanted to make sure Nicole Kidman was aware of the song and had approved the use of her name before it was released.

Adela, who is known for the hit MachineGirl, said she did not want to reference the actress without her knowledge and contacted Kidman and her team before releasing the track.

“I didn’t want to use her name without her approval. So we asked her and her team, and I knew from that that she’s heard the song because she approved it,” Adela said.

The singer added that Kidman has been incredibly supportive since hearing the track, even promoting it on social media and using it in her own content.

“She’s been so supportive, sharing it to her stories, the music video even. She’s used my song in her TikToks. The fact she knows me and wants to support me is so … ,” Adela said.

Kidman’s public support has clearly meant a great deal to Adela, who described the fact that the acclaimed actress knows her music and actively supports her as “so … ”.

The exchange has also delighted fans, who took to the comments to celebrate the pair’s supportive relationship.

“Queens supporting queens,” one fan wrote.

Another commented, “It’s a smash.”

A third fan praised Kidman, writing, “Nicole is a true girls’ girl.”

The story behind Nicole Kidman has added another layer of interest to Adela’s PRIMA record, particularly because the singer took the unusual step of seeking permission from the person who inspired the song.

Rather than simply using Kidman’s name as a creative reference, Adela made sure the actress and her team had heard the track before it reached the public.

Kidman’s enthusiastic response has since turned the tribute into a genuine exchange of support between an established Hollywood star and an emerging pop artist.

With Kidman continuing to share Adela’s work and expressing an interest in seeing her perform live, the connection between the two stars appears to have developed into a memorable moment for both the singer and her fans.
