Pop Star Addison Rae Dazzles on The Tonight Show with Electrifying Performances

On October 3rd, 2025, pop sensation Addison Rae graced the stage of The Tonight Show, delivering a mesmerizing performance of her hit singles "Diet Pepsi" and "New York." Dressed in a stunning gold gown, Rae offered an ethereal take on "Diet Pepsi" before transitioning to the upbeat "New York," dancing across the floor and even climbing onto host Jimmy Fallon's desk.

During the interview, Rae discussed the release of her debut album, Addison, which dropped earlier this year. The singer also celebrated her 25th birthday, sharing her positive outlook on aging. "I actually love aging," Rae said. "I think aging is amazing. I'm like, 'Oh yeah, everything just feels like it matters much less when you get older. Yeah, actually, anything goes.' As long as I'm surviving, I'm good."

Rae also reminisced about her childhood, recalling the time she went to see a Justin Bieber concert on one of her birthdays. "Just seeing him on stage, I was dying," she said. "But also just like, 'Wow, one day that'll be me up there in the levitating heart.'" Rae even created a chant with her cousins in an attempt to get Bieber's attention, though it ultimately "didn't work. Epic fail."

In addition to her music career, Rae recently appeared in the trailer for Ryan Murphy's upcoming true crime anthology series, Monster: The Ed Gein Story, playing one of the infamous murderer's alleged victims. The series is set to premiere on Netflix today.
