Addison Rae
Addison Rae went from Louisiana teenager posting TikTok dances to one of the most recognizable Gen-Z entertainers on the planet, and she's still only getting started.
Who Is Addison Rae?
Addison Rae Easterling was born on October 6, 2000, in Lafayette, Louisiana. She blew up on TikTok in 2019, racking up tens of millions of followers almost overnight with her dance videos and effortlessly watchable personality. She quickly became one of the platform’s top earners and a go-to name for brands wanting to reach Gen Z.
From TikTok she pivoted hard into mainstream entertainment. Her Netflix rom-com He’s All That (2021) was one of the platform’s most-watched films in its debut week, critics weren’t kind, but the audience showed up. She also launched a music career, dropping singles and landing a record deal with Columbia Records.
Beyond content and music, Addison built a beauty brand (Item Beauty) and signed major deals with American Eagle, Reebok, and others. She is, by any measure, a fully fledged multi-platform celebrity, not just a social media personality.
She remains one of the most-searched Gen-Z celebrities globally, which means any rumor about her dating life, her family, or a new project instantly trends. That search volume is why this page exists.
In 2024–2025, Addison pushed further into acting and music, most notably attracting attention for a reported role tied to the Monster / Ed Gein Netflix universe, more on that below.
