'the electric superstar' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer. I also know that 'electric' relates to this answer.

'least surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' is an anagram indicator (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'least' is an anagram of 'TESLA'.
