Her best-selling album to date, Dodirni me (Touch Me), was released through Grand Production in 2007, selling close to 300,000 copies.
In 2014, she collaborated with record producer Stefan Đurić Rasta on her singles "Opasan" (Dangerous) and "Karera" (Carrera), embracing a more urban sound. In April 2018, Dara performed in Belgrade's Štark Arena in front of 15.000 people.[2] The concert was also noted for the public dispute between Adžić and Seka Aleksić, who booked her concert a week before Dara's, and subsequently reconciliation with Jelena Karleuša, who supported Dara against Aleksić after years of media conflict.[3][4]
Additionally, she was a contestant on the third Serbian season of Your Face Sounds Familiar in 2016, finishing in eighth place. Dara also served as a judge on the singing show Pinkove Zvezde between 2016 and 2017.
She has a son with her former husband, Milan Kesić.[5] In 2015, Adžić was involved in a sex scandal, when her private photos leaked and were published by the tabloids.[6]
