Addison Rae Sterling, simply known as Addison Rae, is a social media personality and actress. If you recognize that name, it is most probably from the video sharing social networking service called TikTok, where she has gained over 61 million followers and is ranked as the second most followed individual on the platform as of September this year. In August, she was named as the highest-earning TikTok personality by Forbes magazine. She has been in the public eye for a year now and there are things people need to learn about her. Today, I am sharing some Addison Rae facts you still don’t know.
First off is confusion about Addison’s name
Addison’s full name is Addison Rae Sterling and fans who
have been following the family for a while have noticed that her last name is
different to her father and two younger brothers. Her father’s name is Monty
Lopez, and her brothers go by Lopez, so some people have questioned if Monty is
Addison’s Rae’s biological father.
Nobody in the family has commented on the difference but it
likely has something to do with when Addison was born. It is speculated that
Monty and Sheri got married after they had her. This theory is supported by a
video Monty has posted on his Instagram account which shows photos of him and
Sheri when they were young, followed by a photo with Addison as a baby, a
wedding and then the brothers. The photos appear to be in chronological order
which could explain why Addison has taken her mother’s surname instead of her
father.
Next up, Addison’s famous friends
Fans probably are aware that Addison Rae has a few
well-known friends, but she actually has a lot of famous friends. She is 20
years old and her friends are all different ages. She hangs out with the Vlog
Squad, a collective group of vloggers who are featured in the vlogger David
Dobrik’s main vlog as a recurring group of friends.
Other friends include James Charles, Jason Derulo, Kourtney
Kardashian, and Karlie Kloss. There are more but this girl is a star in her own
right and has a seriously cool group of friends.
Next, her hometown
Addison is from Lafayette, Louisiana and only moved to Los
Angles last December after she saw the opportunities that came with her TikTok
career.
This may surprise a lot of people. She had a very different career goal
Addison Rae was studying at Louisiana State University to
become a journalist or sports broadcaster before she met the group from the
Hype House, a group of TikTok personalities, and moved to Los Angeles. In an
interview with Forbes magazine "I did go to college for about three
months. That was a really fun and exciting time. My focus for college was
broadcasting and TV commercial work.
Because of TikTok and moving to Los Angeles, I have been able to do the
things I have always dreamed of such as being on ESPN and working with brands.”
It looks like social media and acting was her calling, as
she has found success in it, but she says she would still like to go down the
presenting route in the future.
A year of TikTok
Addison has done and achieved a lot already, so this is hard
to believe but she has not been on TikTok for that long. Addison only joined
the app in July last year and she has 71.9 million followers and 4.5 billion
likes now. This is proof that TikTok can make people famous overnight.
Next is something she can add to her list of talents
Addison Rae is really athletic. Not only does she want to report on
sports, but she also has played her fair share of them. Apart from being a
dancer, Addison has also been a cheerleader, done gymnastics and played
softball. Her high school
softball team, the ‘Lady Cavs’ eventually won the 2016 Class 2A State
Championship. She attended the Universal Cheerleaders Association all-American
camp in June 2018. Addison also plays volleyball and enjoys
watching baseball, football and basketball matches.
Believe it or not, her parents are also TikTokers
That is right. Monty Lopez and Sheri Sterling are on TikTok. They
each have their own accounts. Her father has 2 million followers, and her mum
has 5.6 million followers. They also have a family TikTok account which
features the whole family including both of her younger brothers who have
joined the family TikTok business. Out of all Addison’s TikTok videos, the ones
that feature her parents are the ones that receive the most hearts and likes on
the platform.
Here is another talent she has
Addison wants to capitalise on her talents as an actress by
getting her name out there in every part of the industry she can. She said she
has gone to a lot of castings and is looking forward to getting into acting.
This is the moment that shows us that Addison is just like
everyone else
Addison has a story about her awkward first kiss. Like most
people, Addison’s first kiss wasn’t like something in a romantic comedy movie.
She said that her first kiss happened in front of her grandma’s house and her
parents were watching outside the window.
Even a superstar or celebrity like Addison Rae can’t get away from
an embarrassing story like this!
Addison has fans and is a fan
She is a fan of the singer Billie Eilish. Addison loves how Billie
is representing her ae group and showing the world what she has got. She can
relate to her as they are so close in age and she has said that the song Ocean
Eyes makes her cry.
What was her first TikTok?
Addison’s first ever TikTok was a lip-sync to a song called Don’t
Lose Your Head, from the musical SIX which is based on Henry VIII’s six
wives. She made her first official video on TikTok in 2019 after she noticed
that her lip-sync videos were being re-posted on various other Instagram
accounts.
Here is yet another talent of Addison
She began dancing when she was just six years old. She was even a member
of the Shreveport Dance Academy as of early 2019. She loves dancing to slow and
contemporary jazz music. Her favourite band to dance to is ‘Florence and the
Machine’ and she finds hip hop dance too difficult to learn. She has her own ‘dance’ highlight on her
Instagram account.
Now it all makes sense why she nails all the favourite TikTok
dances.
Next is a big and popular event Addison was able to attend
Addison Rae attended New York Fashion week. The creator always has
such a great sense of style and looks great and a recap video to show off the
glam looks she wore at New York Fashion Weeks.

Starbucks and her favourite drink from the coffee shop is the pink drink. That
is a signature drink.
Addison is a beach lover

influencers today earn through various ways such as brand endorsements, Google
ad-sense, and advertising etcetera. According to NBC News, the average
sponsorship payout of a Tik Tok star with 5 million followers ranges from
$5,000 to $8,000.
With the number
of followers on Addison’s social media accounts being that huge and rising, it
is no surprise that brands would want to endorse her for product promotions. As
of 2019, she had been endorsed by major brands such as Fashion Nova, Chantilly
Boutique, McCary’s Jewelers, and Uptown Cheapskate. Addison charges a minimum
of $1,000 to $2,000 for an average estimate of 6% of the rate of followers on
