It’s Kylie Minogue’s universe, and we’re all simply living in it, and now there’s a chance she’ll inspire a new entry in the dictionary.
Fans are surely attempting to make that happen in the aftermath of the release of the pop icon’s current hit, Padam Padam.
That’s right – if Kylie Jenner‘s millions of fans have their way, Padam might join the ranks of recent additions like influencer, side hustle, deepfake, and pumpkin spice.
Since the release of the infectious party track, Oxford University Press, the publisher of the English dictionary, has been overwhelmed with demands to add Padam, the term for heartbeat, to the resource.
‘Loads of fans have been contacting the Oxford English Dictionary about actually getting the word ‘Padam’ added,’ a source told The Sun.
‘Kylie joked about it in an interview recently but now people have taken it upon themselves to make it happen.
‘It has entered her fans’ vocabulary and they want to make it official.’
With the release of her last album Disco in 2020, the Australian singer became the first female artist to score a UK Number 1 album in five consecutive decades. She has been on a high since releasing the first single from her forthcoming album Tension and thanked fans for the response as she celebrated her 55th birthday at the end of May.
Speaking in a video posted to Instagram, she said: ‘I just wanted to say thank you, thank you so so much for all the birthday messages and the Padam reaction and the love, it has been an incredible week topped off by being my birthday today and I can’t thank you enough.
‘My heart is bursting with joy so thank you so so much!’
Meanwhile, Kylie has hinted at embarking on a tour, telling Heart Breakfast: ‘I would love to…. we’re looking into dates currently so hopefully I can make that happen.’
Tension is set for release in September.
