Addison Rae Is Tuning Into Her Pop Star Era
Put your headphones on.
Addison Rae is proving to the world that she’s much more than a TikTok star — she’s an emerging music artist, full of talent, and confidently stepping into her main pop girl era. With every new release, she elevates her artistry, refines her sound, and grows her presence as one of pop’s hottest rising acts.
Over the past year, Addison has dropped hit after hit, producing tracks that quickly climb playlists and social feeds. From the playful “Diet Pepsi” to the hypnotic “Aquamarine”, she’s building an unskippable discography. Her ability to tap into catchy melodies and emotionally resonant themes is turning heads — and ears — across the industry.
Her latest single, “Headphones On”, is no exception. Dreamy and introspective, the song expresses that all-too-familiar feeling of using music as an escape. Music holds immense power over how we think and feel; this track captures the moment you put your headphones on to unplug from the world. With glossy synths, a pulsing beat, and Rae’s soft, breathy vocals, it’s a song that feels both intimate and cinematic, with a corresponding music video to intensify the feels. She opens up about her inner world, channelling vulnerability into lyrics that resonate with anyone who’s ever needed to shut out the noise.
And the best part? New music doesn’t stop here. Rae made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025, joining Arca on stage for a euphoria remix of “Aquamarine”. Dressed in a sheer, white, boho-chic dress, she made a statement with a bold detail: hot pink underwear with “June 6th” written across the back — a cheeky, unforgettable reveal of her upcoming debut album’s release date.
With a clear vision, evolving sounds, and undeniable presence, Addison Rae is stepping into the spotlight with intention. She’s the pop princess we didn’t know we needed, carving her way into a new generation of music.
