Addison Rae—sorry, just Addison now, because we’re dropping last names like we drop exes in 2025—is entering her Single Name Era™. That’s right, the “Diet Pepsi” princess sashayed onto Quen Blackwell’s YouTube show Feeding Starving Celebrities (a.k.a. Michelin-starred chaos) and spilled more tea than the Boston Harbor.
First up, the name change: “I’ve grown past just being called ‘Addison Rae,’” she purred, while presumably sipping a sparkling lavender moon milk and manifesting Grammy noms. Also, signing her full name got exhausting, and honestly, who among us hasn’t cut corners on paperwork?
But wait, there’s more.
The icon formerly known as Rae explained that her debut album Addison is named after… herself. Groundbreaking. “Everyone said it sounds like me, so I was like… okay? It’s giving main character energy.” Basically, Beyoncé walked so Addison could soft launch her self-titled electro-pop renaissance.
Now for the real internet-breaking confession: Addison revealed she used to run a secret One Direction fan page on Twitter and—brace yourself—she PRETENDED TO BE ONE OF THEM. Full-on catfish cosplay. “I capitalized the ‘i’ to look like a lowercase ‘L’ so people thought I was Liam or Louis or whoever. Evil? Maybe. Iconic? Also yes,” she giggled, sounding like a lovable internet gremlin who just found your credit card number.
And if you thought Addison was using ChatGPT to plot world domination? Wrong. She said AI isn’t “High Fashion,” unlike her banger of the same name. Instead, she recommends “the library,” because apparently it’s still 1998 in Addison’s mind.
As for the haters hating on her music career? “They say I’m trying too hard,” Addison said, flipping her 42-inch ponytail in slow motion. “Well maybe you should try… at all.” Mic drop. Population of Earth: roasted.
Addison is now Addison, she’s a former boyband impostor, she’s never used ChatGPT, and she’s not here for lazy haters. Queen behavior.
