ADÉLA Reveals She Asked Nicole Kidman for Permission to Use Her Name on ‘Nicole Kidman’ Song

"I can't believe Nicole Kidman knows who I am," the pop star gushed during an interview with Pop Crave.

Adéla‘s “Nicole Kidman” is a manifestation anthem — so much that she ended up manifesting one of her favorite actresses becoming a fan.

Before releasing the song, Adéla made sure she had the Oscar-winning actress’ blessing. She reached out to Kidman’s team for permission to use her full name, admitting that you might not want to “use somebody’s name if they’re not OK with it.” In a recent interview with Pop Crave, the singer revealed that Kidman gave her the green light, and since the song’s release has been showing the Slovak pop star an immense amount of love through reposting the music video, talking about the song on social media and even using it in her own posts.
