Madonna uses ADÉLA's viral 'Nicole Kidman' on TikTok as the Slovak singer reaches No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 @madonna/Instagram

Madonna has added an unexpected twist to ADÉLA's viral pop moment by soundtracking a glamorous TikTok with the Slovak singer's hit 'Nicole Kidman'. Posted on 15 October 2026, the clip features the Queen of Pop posing in a striking gold dress.

The unexpected pairing comes as 'Nicole Kidman' continues its climb on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 9 on the chart dated 17 October. Madonna's use of the track gives ADÉLA another high-profile moment as her breakthrough hit continues to gain attention.

Madonna's Gold Dress Video

Madonna's TikTok shows her posing in a gold dress as ADÉLA's track plays in the background, creating a glamorous clip without a spoken message about the singer. The video appears to show Madonna getting ready for a formal occasion, although the specific event has not been confirmed.

The moment brings the song into the social media orbit of one of pop music's most recognisable figures, but it does not establish that Madonna intended to endorse or promote ADÉLA. Nevertheless, her choice of soundtrack gives the rising singer another high-profile appearance for a track already attracting attention online.

ADÉLA Reaches the Top 10

The timing is particularly notable because 'Nicole Kidman' has reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 17 October 2026, according to a report covering that week's chart. It marks ADÉLA's first top 10 hit on the US singles chart, following the song's rise from No. 12 on the previous chart dated 10 October.

The track appears on ADÉLA's debut album, PRIMA, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The combination of a top 10 single and a top five album marks a significant milestone for the Slovak artist as her theatrical pop sound reaches a wider audience.

The Song Behind the Trend

'Nicole Kidman' takes its name from the Oscar-winning actress and plays with the idea of channeling her glamour, confidence and cinematic image. The track's playful premise has made it a natural fit for social media videos featuring dramatic poses, fashion moments and celebrity appearances.

Kidman has also acknowledged ADÉLA and her music, telling a fan in August that she knew the singer and planned to attend her Nashville concert. The actress later joined Dua Lipa, Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig in a video using the song at Chanel's Spring/Summer 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week in October.

Celebrities Join the Craze

The Chanel video helped bring the trend to a particularly high-profile setting, with four familiar faces taking turns lip-syncing to ADÉLA's track. The clip featured Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Dua Lipa and Kidman herself, creating an unexpected crossover between pop music, film and fashion.

Madonna's separate TikTok adds another recognisable name to the song's growing online footprint. While individual celebrity posts do not necessarily indicate a coordinated campaign or formal endorsement, they can introduce a track to audiences who may not otherwise have encountered the artist behind it.

Madonna's Chart Legacy

Madonna has earned 12 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 at the peak of her career, alongside 10 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. Those achievements place her among the most successful artists in the history of the US charts and offer a striking contrast with ADÉLA's emerging career.

The two artists are at very different stages of their careers, but their names now share a small moment in the same pop-culture conversation. Madonna's latest video does not confirm a professional connection between them, yet it puts ADÉLA's music alongside the image of a superstar whose influence spans generations.

Another Moment for ADÉLA

For ADÉLA, the attention arrives as 'Nicole Kidman' reaches a new chart milestone and continues to circulate through celebrity-led social media videos. The track's appeal now stretches from its original concept celebrating Kidman to fashion-week appearances and Madonna's gold-dress TikTok.

Whether the song maintains its position on the Billboard Hot 100 will depend on its performance in the weeks ahead. For now, its No. 9 ranking on the chart and its appearance in Madonna's latest video give the Slovak singer two notable developments to celebrate.
