Addison Rae was a guest on Quen Blackwell’s YouTube series Feeding Starving Celebrities on Sunday.

While on the show, the 24-year-old burgeoning pop star — who catapulted to fame in 2019 as Addison Rae — discussed her unexpected name change.

Six years into the spotlight, the TikTok sensation, born Addison Rae Easterling, is dropping the second half of her famous moniker.

It comes days after she dropped her mononymous debut album, Addison, on June 6.

She explained to Blackwell that she mulled over the LP title ‘for a really long time,’ explaining, ‘When you do hear all of the music straight-through, there’s not really a title that encompasses all of it.’

Addison continued, ‘Everybody that I played it to as well, they were just like, “Oh, it just sounds just like you. It just sounds like music you would make.”

‘I [didn’t] really know what else to call it and so I was like, “Maybe, then, the album is just my name.”‘

Quen offered: ‘I like the fact that you are changing your stage name and taking off the Rae. Is that something you’ve talked about?’

The Louisiana-bred music artist noted she hasn’t spoken at length about her name switch, adding, ‘But I said it in an interview, I was just like, “Oh, I think I’ve grown past just being called Addison Rae.” And then the album being named Addison kind of was a tie-in for that.’

She elaborated, ‘Whoever knows me as Addison Rae and knew me as Addison Rae will always know me as that anyways.’

And she admitted, ‘I just am tired of also signing Addison Rae. It’s really long.’

‘I just would rather sign Addison,’ she confessed with a laugh. ‘And then I was like, “Yeah, it just makes more sense because it’s going back to the roots, really.”‘

The songstress then pointed out, ‘But I know you’re going to put Addison Rae on the title [of the YouTube video],’ prompting Blackwell to mischievously side-eye the camera.

The star also chatted about dropping the latter half of her stage name during an interview with Zane Lowe.

‘If you got introduced to me as Addison Rae, as most people did, I think you will always know me as that. 

‘But I think for me and what making music is doing, for just my own soul and heart, is bringing me back to the core of everything.

‘Addison Rae, yes, is a part of me and that will always be a part of who I am. There are element of me that are obviously Addison Rae and encapsulate what people have created as who Addison Rae is,’ the blonde beauty stated.

She reiterated, ‘But I think for me it was all about coming back to the center of it all, which is just Addison.’
