EXCLUSIVE!
Addison Rae, the TikTok sensation turned music mogul, is baring it all once again for W Magazine's Volume 5: The Originals Issue! In a daring photo shoot that will leave you breathless, Addison flaunts her toned physique in a series of jaw-dropping images. But what's even more intriguing is the scoop she dished out about her career and the industry's elite.
In one particularly racy image, the blonde bombshell lifts up her black netted top to reveal red heart-shaped pasties over her chest. Talk about risqué! It's no wonder W Magazine chose Addison for their coveted issue – she's a true original!
But what does it take to make it in the cutthroat music industry? According to Addison, it's all about finding your own unique voice and being fearless. In an exclusive interview with W Magazine, she reveals that her debut album, Addison, was a labor of love – one that took shape long before any sound was even recorded.
"I'm a very visual person," Addison confesses, "so everything was mapped out: colors, themes, how I wanted to translate them into a project. I made a binder, printed out photos and colors and words...it was just purely visions, visuals, words." It's clear that Addison is a true artist at heart.
And who better to guide her on this creative journey than the incomparable Lana Del Rey? The two musicians recently joined forces for a surprise duet of Diet Pepsi at London's Wembley Stadium – an unforgettable experience for both parties. In fact, Addison credits Lana with having a major impact on her career.
"Lana...Standing beside someone I admire, who lives her truth so gracefully, was life-changing," Addison gushes to writer Alex Hawgood. "It all came together magically and unexpectedly. That was monumental for me." We can't help but wonder what sparked this newfound friendship – perhaps it's the perfectionism that both women share?
Speaking of Lana Del Rey, Addison has nothing but praise for the singer-songwriter. "Lana is one of the greatest artists of our generation – honestly, of our lifetime," she raves to Apple Music 1 host Zane Lowe. "I think she's just incredible, and so kind and sweet, and so helpful and open." It's clear that Addison looks up to Lana as a mentor and role model.
But what about the pressures of fame? Does Addison ever feel overwhelmed by the constant scrutiny and attention? Not on your life! According to her Instagram posts, she's still basking in the glow of her Wembley experience with Lana. "I will never forget this," she writes. "Thank you so much to the most beautiful divine woman, heart, soul, mind…Lana. I am the happiest and luckiest girl on earth. Being next to you is spiritual." We can't help but wonder what other surprises are in store for this rising star!
