Singer and TikTok star Addison Rae changes her stage name

Addison Rae is now going by a new stage name

Addison Rae is now going by a new stage name.

The singer and TikTok star, who just released her self-titled debut album on June 6, has dropped the name “Rae” from her professional moniker and is now known simply as Addison.

“I said it in an interview, I was just like, ‘Oh, I think I’ve grown past being called Addison Rae,’” Addison told host Quenlin Blackwell during a June 8 appearance on Blackwell’s “Feeding Starving Celebrities” YouTube series.

“Then the album being named ‘Addison’ kind of was a tie-in for that,” she added.

The “Diet Pepsi” singer, 24, said there is also a more practical reason behind her decision. “I just am tired of also signing Addison Rae. It’s really long. I just would rather sign Addison,” she said, laughing. “And then I was like, ‘Yeah, it just makes more sense because, like, it’s going back to the roots really.’”
