- Nicole Kidman explained to Attitude that Troye Sivan called her directly and asked her to appear in his "She's the Best" video, and she agreed instantly: "I didn't even need to read anything, I didn't need to have any information."
- Kidman described the decision as characteristically "spontaneous," telling the magazine: "That's me! I make very spontaneous decisions!"
- Kidman credited a long-standing personal connection with Sivan, saying: "I love him. I've known him for such a long time."
- "She's the Best" is the lead single from Troye Sivan's upcoming fourth studio album of the same name, scheduled for an Oct. 9 release via Interscope's EMI Records.
- The video features Kidman on a night out in New York City, where the 3x Grammy-nominated Sivan serenades and dances with her at a bar before slipping into drag.
- Kidman and Sivan previously co-starred in the 2018 Joel Edgerton-directed adaptation of Garrard Conley's memoir Boy Erased, about Conley's experience in conversion therapy.
Why it matters: Kidman's appearance marks a cross-promotional crossover between an Oscar-winning actress and a 3x Grammy-nominated pop artist ahead of Sivan's fourth album rollout on Oct. 9, banking on a real relationship forged during their 2018 *Boy Erased* collaboration to generate buzz for the lead single.
