Addison Rae

Viral sensation-turned-pop upstart Addison Rae (born Addison Rae Easterling in 2000 in Lafayette, LA) became known in the late 2010s for her dance moves, amassing millions of followers online. After venturing into podcasting and makeup, she parlayed those fans into an entertainment career, releasing the breathy single “Obsessed” in 2021 and starring in the gender-flipped She’s All That remake He’s All That the same year. Rae’s long-in-the-works debut EP, AR came out in 2023, and cuts like “2 die 4,” a minimalist collaboration with pop futurist Charli xcx, and “Nothing On (But The Radio),” a storming electro-pop anthem, showed her hitmaking acumen and flirtatious personality. In 2024 she appeared with Charli once again on “The von dutch remix with addison rae and a. g. cook,” a glitchy reworking of the lead single from her frequent collaborator’s expectation-defying BRAT.
