Nicole Kidman Teaches Daughters to Follow Taylor Swift’s Advice When Dealing With Hate

Nicole Kidman has proven she really can do it all. In the newest Vogue cover story, Kidman breaks down her storied career, discusses how Taylor Swift has inspired her and her teenage daughters to just “Shake it Off,” and how she channels the good, the bad, and the ugly into her work after her recent separation from ex-husband Keith Urban.

Kidman’s Record Breaking Cover & 40 Year Career

Adorned in Saint Laurent, the Academy Award winning actress will appear on the November 2025 cover of US Vogue. This will be the ninth cover for Kidman, officially setting the record for the most covers by any actress in the magazine’s history. In her record breaking cover story, Kidman reflects on her extensive career with Vogue journalist Wendell Steavenson.

“Kidman’s movie-star exterior is shiny, implacable, flawless, but inside is the soft stuff: intuitive, porous, sensitive. She often used the word open in describing herself. Her acting seems to meld the persona and the personal—a photogenic clarity and stillness that draws on a deep well of human emotion,” writes Steavenson. 

From starring in arthouse films like “Eyes Wide Shut” to blockbusters like “Aquaman,” to binge-worthy TV shows, Kidman’s impressive range not only as an actress, but also as a producer, has garnered attention and praise from all over the world. And it doesn’t seem like Kidman will be slowing down any time soon. “Taking a risk is what I’ve always done,” she told Steavenson. “You get back up and you try again and you learn.”

As someone who understands how hard it is to produce her own films, Kidman publicly made it her mission to work with female directors as often as she can. In the eight years since vowing to do so, the “Big Little Lies” star has worked with 27 female directors.

Though Steavenson didn’t want to pry during his interview with Kidman, he had to ask how she felt about her divorce, whom she was married to for 19 years. “How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?” Kidman responded. Luckily, she has a close circle of “ride-or-die” friends, as she describes, to lean on for support. She also fuels all of these feelings into her art. “I put it in my work. That’s the beauty of what I do. There’s a place for some of this to explode, implode, process, discover.”

After years of learning how to protect herself in such a grueling industry, Kidman is now able to instill this knowledge in her teenage daughters. When it comes to counseling them on how to deal with hate, especially online, Kidman has decided to take a page out of singer-songwriter Taylor Swift’s book. “Literally walk away from it,” Kidman said. “Because it will fell you. It will destroy you.” 

Kidman Moves Forward With Stylish New ‘Do’

Kidman posted on Instagram for the first time since her separation on October 7. In a stunning photo taken during Paris Fashion Week at the Chanel Fashion Show, Kidman flaunts her new bangs and effortlessly chic outfit. She’s dressed in a simple but classic white button-down, light wash denim jeans, and of course, she has a burgundy Chanel bag in tow.

Her post received an outpouring of support and positivity from her A-List friends and fans alike.

Fellow actress Lindsay Lohan commented, “❤️❤️.” Sophia Bush followed up with, “The bangs! The energy! Yes ma’am!! ❤️‍🔥.” Collaborator and “Moulin Rouge!” director Baz Luhrmann celebrated, “Reunited again at Chanel !!” Model Emily Sears commented, “Baddest alive and only getting hotter from here!”
