Whoever concocted the trending rumor about Addison Rae’s demise, the multifaceted TikTok luminary, actress, and burgeoning pop sensation (more details on that soon), must be questioned: What prompted such a fabrication?
Could it be due to her absence from TikTok over the past few weeks? Or perhaps her noticeable omission from the “Hot Internet Girl” clique in Charli XCX’s latest music video, “360”? Or maybe it stems from frustration over her delay in releasing new music? (Trust me, I feel you on that one!) Regardless of the cause, next time, before allowing a celebrity death hoax to gain traction online, perhaps pause for a moment of reflection.
Rest assured, Addison Rae is very much alive and thriving, as far as my latest information goes. With that clarification made, for those genuinely intrigued by Addison Rae’s recent ventures since solidifying her status as one of TikTok’s foremost luminaries, you’re in for a treat.
Is Addison Rae still on TikTok?
While her level of activity may have tapered compared to her earlier days, Rae still makes periodic appearances on her TikTok platform, boasting an impressive 88 million followers. However, if you find yourself yearning for more of her presence, fret not, for lately, she has been considerably more active on Instagram, amassing a still impressive following of 35.4 million. While we aren’t sure why we don’t see her so much anymore, one thing we are sure about is Adisson Rae and Tiktok is inseparable
Yet, for those who initially gravitated towards her for her infectious dance routines, there may be a hint of disappointment. Rae’s content landscape has undergone a transformation over the years, evolving beyond mere TikTok challenges. Presently, her feed is adorned with a mosaic of lifestyle vignettes and promotional content, marking a shift from her earlier dance-centric repertoire.
What is Addison Rae doing now?
We are thrilled you brought this up! It appears that Rae’s recent social media quietude might be attributed to her concerted efforts towards nurturing her burgeoning music career. Now, I understand the initial skepticism one might harbor—another influencer dipping their toes into the music realm. Yet, Rae appears to be approaching this transition with a genuine commitment. Admittedly, her debut single, “Obsessed,” failed to resonate with the masses (though I must confess, I find it oddly delightful in its campiness), but she’s taken the criticism in stride. Following the positive reception to leaked demos online, Rae promptly released an EP featuring polished versions of these tracks on streaming platforms. And if you’re seeking validation on its worthiness, let it be known that her EP, titled “AR,” ended up being one of my most-streamed albums of 2023.
Rae seems to be delving deeper into her cool-girl pop influences, as evidenced by her collaborations with Charli XCX. The iconic “Vroom Vroom” songstress lent her vocals to Rae’s track “2 die 4,” and in return, Rae contributed to the A.G. Cook-produced remix of Charli’s “Von Dutch.” Notably, Rae’s impromptu scream, arguably the highlight of the remix, swiftly went viral on TikTok shortly after the song’s release. It’s evident she hasn’t lost her touch.
Thankfully, Rae appears poised to continue pursuing her passions, crafting music for aficionados of quality pop. Beyond her musical endeavors and social media engagements, she’s set to grace the silver screen in the film “Animal Friends,” alongside a stellar ensemble cast featuring the likes of Ryan Reynolds and Aubrey Plaza.
