About this listen
Addison Rae continues to command the spotlight with a mix of business moves, candid confessions, and that signature unbothered style that keeps her firmly in the cultural zeitgeist. In just the last few days, Addison sat down with The New York Times Popcast where she revealed an unexpected throwback detail: as she was breaking out on TikTok in 2019, major record labels would pay her just $20—yes, twenty bucks—to post TikTok dance videos featuring their songs. She described having to check her PayPal to see if the payments hit, calling the arrangement “actually really sketch.” The interview tracks her rise from those humble brand deals to pop music stardom and reflects on how the music industry was already tapping into her influence even before she became a household name. That same conversation saw her addressing claims around authenticity and her public persona, echoing statements she gave Elle Magazine earlier this year about protecting her true self out of fear of scrutiny.
On the music front, Addison’s long-anticipated 12-track debut album, simply titled “Addison,” is due out Friday, June 6. Ahead of this release, she’s dropped singles like “Diet Pepsi,” “Headphones On,” and “Fame Is a Gun,” and even teamed up with avant-garde artist Arca for the “Aquamarine / Arcamarine” remix. The anticipation is palpable, with pop culture outlets charting her evolution from viral star to serious recording artist.
Style-wise, Addison grabbed headlines for a recent streetwear moment when she stepped out in the now-viral “I DON’T CARE” athletic shorts by Gen Z favorite brand Praying. The shorts, posted by Praying on Instagram with the tagline “Hot and unbothered,” come at a time when she’s become known for mixing statement pieces with laid-back athletic wear, keeping her Pilates-honed look as newsworthy as her music. Fans speculate the sassy slogan is a cheerful nod to staying stress- and anxiety-free amid ongoing family drama, though Addison herself hasn’t commented on that connection. The shorts are already a shopping list item for fans eager to channel her “unbothered” energy.
On the business front, Addison’s net worth reportedly remains solidly in the $15 million annual earnings tier, with a portfolio that now spans acting roles, major brand endorsements, and her Item Beauty line. According to Wall Street Survivor, she stands out as one of the highest earning TikTok personalities, dwarfing industry averages and continuing to leverage her massive 88.3 million TikTok followers, as reported by Epidemic Sound, to fuel her multi-platform empire.
There have been no major controversies or negative headlines in the past 24 hours, and she remains highly active on social media, with her Instagram and TikTok regularly featuring music teasers, casual glam shots, candid behind-the-scenes moments, and brand collaborations.
