My Take
I will admit I underestimated Addison Rae, and I suspect most critics did too. It is easy to dismiss a TikTok dancer from Lafayette, Louisiana; it is much harder to explain how she converted fifteen-second clips into a Forbes 30 Under 30 listing, film roles, and a music career that serious pop listeners now discuss without irony. That conversion rate tells me she understands attention as a raw material rather than an end in itself. Plenty of influencers ride one wave; she keeps catching new ones. Whether she becomes a lasting pop star is open, but I would not bet against her instincts.
