Troye Sivan album announcement and music video release

Overview

Troye Sivan has announced his fourth studio album, ‘She’s the Best’, scheduled for release on October 9, 2026. This project marks Sivan’s first release since signing with Interscope Records. The title track, which features a vocal appearance by Charli XCX, represents a musical departure from his previous high-energy dance-pop, instead utilizing piano, spoken-word verses, and trip-hop influenced production. Songwriting credits for the track include Jack Antonoff, George Daniel of The 1975, Leland, and Styalz Fuego.

To promote the project, Sivan released a music video directed by Gordon von Steiner. Inspired by 1980s queer New York, the visual features drag performer Sasha Colby and stars actress Nicole Kidman, reuniting the two following their work on the 2018 film ‘Boy Erased’. In the video, Kidman appears as a glamorous, leather-clad figure in a club setting. Sivan described the work as a “love letter” to women, trans women, drag queens, and the feminine spirit.

Kidman’s involvement coincides with significant media visibility following her appearance as the cover star for the September 2026 issue of British Vogue. The high-fashion shoot, characterized by dramatic styling such as bleached eyebrows, sparked online debate regarding whether the images were heavily edited or AI-generated. In her accompanying interview, Kidman discussed her interest in fashion and beauty, noting that her early experiences in trans clubs helped shape her appreciation for styling, while also addressing her personal life and openness to new beginnings.
