#NicoleKidman is the hashtag powering ADÉLA’s fastest-rising 2026 pop hit of the same name — a corset-and-Louboutins fantasy that racked up 1.5 million-plus TikTok uses, 10 million music-video views, its own viral dance trend, and a personal endorsement (plus TikTok debut) from Nicole Kidman herself. On the September 26-dated Billboard Hot 100, the song jumped from No. 45 to No. 22, one of the year’s steepest weekly climbs.

The Song
“Nicole Kidman” is the second single from ADÉLA’s debut album PRIMA, positioned as a high-energy pop fantasy about dressing up like a movie star for one glamorous night. The lyrics stack designer references — “should I wear Louboutins or Jimmy Choos,” a tightly-laced corset, a black car waiting at the curb — and let ADÉLA imagine herself as the on-screen version of celebrity that Kidman’s red-carpet image embodies. Songfacts and Wikipedia both describe the track as an ode to that specific big-night, “you are your own leading lady” mood rather than a literal biography of Kidman.
Peak Virality
The record broke through on TikTok in mid-2026 as short creators used its drop for outfit-change transitions and a repeat-choreography move that circulated as a named dance. Instagram Reels followed, and by mid-September the song was one of the fastest-rising sounds on both platforms, with the music video crossing 10 million views. On the U.S. streaming side, Billboard reported that September 11–15 streams hit 6.14 million and jumped 51% the following week to 9.3 million — enough to lift “Kidman” from No. 45 to No. 22 on the September 26 Hot 100.
Notable Moments
Kidman herself put the song into the celebrity news cycle at the Practical Magic 2 premiere on August 26, 2026, telling reporters she was a fan, that she planned to attend ADÉLA’s Red Bottoms Tour concert in Nashville on September 21, and that ADÉLA’s other song “Ain’t in LA” would soundtrack her first-ever TikTok post — which she then followed through on. The Kidman-endorsement moment became the biggest single accelerant of the trend on TikTok. Original cast members from Kidman’s film history and other established pop artists then began jumping onto the “Nicole Kidman” sound, and Billboard framed the whole arc as a textbook example of a “star co-signs the song about her” acceleration loop.
Cultural Impact
The hashtag briefly reclaimed “Nicole Kidman” from AMC’s “we come to this place for magic” pre-show ad — the previous meme use — and turned it into shorthand for outfit-change fantasy videos. It sits inside a broader 2026 wave of pop hits built around named-woman titles and dress-up choreography, and ADÉLA has been positioned by Billboard and Yahoo Entertainment alongside the year’s other breakout pop debut acts.
