Some fans may be familiar with ADÉLA from her participation in the 2023 Dream Academy survival competition where she competed for a spot in KATSEYE but was ultimately eliminated. Her journey with the K-pop-style competition was documented in the Netflix series Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.
Her former fellow Dream Academy trainees, Lara and Megan from KATSEYE along with SAINT SATINE's Emily, were in attendance at ADÉLA’s L.A. concert.
ADÉLA's "Nicole Kidman" has been climbing the charts for weeks. The song reached No. 2 on Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart on September 21, then jumped from No. 45 to No. 22 on the Hot 100 on the strength of rising U.S. streaming, per Billboard.
Released in early September, ADÉLA’s debut album PRIMA entered the Billboard 200 at No. 4. The single "Ain't in LA" made her the first Slovak artist to reach the Hot 100. For the week of October 10, "Nicole Kidman" shifted down to No. 12 on the Hot 100 chart after originally peaking at No. 11.
In a recent interview, the singer told W Magazine she got fixated on Kidman after watching Eyes Wide Shut, then wore a corset so tight to a Golden Globes party that the comparison stuck.
"I’ve never been in a movie, but I got all glammed up, and my corset was so tight that I thought, 'I feel like Nicole Kidman right now,'" she said.
According to People, Kidman told a fan at the London premiere of Practical Magic 2 that she planned to catch ADÉLA perform in Nashville.
