Why Addison Rae suddenly vanished from social media without warning
Addison Rae, TikTok¡¯s OG It-Girl turned singer, has revealed why she is easing off social media. After years of dancing through the algorithm, the 24-year-old is craving privacy, peace, and power over her narrative. In a world obsessed with oversharing, Addison is choosing to log off, unapologetically.

Addison Rae might have danced her way into our feeds with lip-syncs and viral trends, but behind the glitter and glam of TikTok stardom, there was a girl feeling deeply misunderstood. In a candid convo on Therapuss with Jake Shane, the ¡°Headphones On¡± singer opened up about her decision to retreat from constant online exposure.

From small-town star to social media influencer
Though millions followed her every move, Addison admitted she was never really showing all of herself, and that was intentional. ¡°People do not post every inch of their soul online,¡± she pointed out, via Jake Shane. She simply did what she had to do to make it, and let us not forget, she did.
Privacy is the new power
After years of having strangers comment on her authenticity, her music, and even who she was at age 19, Rae has decided to draw the line. Growing up in a small town and suddenly being catapulted into the chaos of Los Angeles fame came with emotional whiplash. Now, at 24, she is choosing peace over performance.

She has realised the importance of setting boundaries, not because she is hiding anything, but because not everything deserves a comment section. The bigger the audience, the louder the noise, and Addison is done letting that noise dictate her sense of self.
Delays, detours, and doing it her way
Rae is not just backing off from socials. She is also slowing down in every area, music included. She said artists often feel the urge to pull back when they get ¡°too exposed,¡± fearing burnout or backlash. Instead of rushing content out to stay relevant, she is now embracing the art of waiting.

With the release of her self-titled debut album Addison on June 6, she let the music speak for itself. And when asked why she chose such a simple title, her response? Because the music is her. No gimmicks, no labels, just Addison, as raw and real as she wants to be.
