About this listen
Addison Rae has made major headlines in the last few days with her official name change—she’s dropped “Rae” professionally and now simply goes by Addison. She explained this move during her June 8 appearance on Quenlin Blackwell’s "Feeding Starving Celebrities" YouTube show, saying she feels she’s grown past the “Addison Rae” branding and that it was both a personal and practical decision. Her new self-titled debut album, Addison, launched June 6 and ties directly into this rebranding. Addison emphasized she’s not offended if fans and friends still use her old stage name, saying those who know her as Addison Rae always will, but for her, the change reflects her evolving identity as an artist and woman. This fresh era is reflective of how Malia Obama has done something similar, a comparison Addison addressed with good humor according to TODAY.
Her music career is on fire—Addison just completed a sold-out show in Dallas on September 25, part of her first headlining global tour. Reviewers at the Dallas Observer were quick to point out that she’s cementing herself as a genuine pop icon. Her performance included elaborate stage design, dazzling costumes, and crowd interaction that underscored her Louisiana roots and Gen Z appeal. She even invited fans on stage during her remix of Charli XCX’s "Von Dutch," which went viral across social media, especially Instagram, where Addison shared backstage and on-stage photos, with her signature leather bikini look causing a minor frenzy in fashion and pop culture outlets like Celebwell.
Publicly, Addison’s been open about her journey from TikTok to charting pop star. In a late May interview with The New York Times’ Popcast, she recounted how record labels once paid her just $20 per sponsored TikTok post back in her college days, a modest start that now seems worlds away given her current status. She revealed these deals were typically handled over PayPal and described the experience as “sketchy.” Her candidness continues to set her apart—fans and media alike are highlighting her willingness to discuss issues like mental health and authenticity. In a recent Vital Proteins interview, she talked about prioritizing self-care amid all the career chaos.
With more than 88 million TikTok followers, Addison remains one of the platform’s top global stars according to Epidemic Sound. Her business ventures and philanthropic activities, while less headline-grabbing this week, continue to shape her image as a role model for digital creators, as reported by Lemon8.
