Can TikTok Star Addison Rae Become Horror's Next Scream Queen?

Andy Warhol once famously said that, in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. Unfortunately for that old fart, he never met Addison Rae.

Rae’s star might’ve risen by trend-hopping on TikTok—where she managed to turn viral dance trends into an audience of some 88 million followers—but her career has flourished far beyond the confines of the app’s wildly ephemeral virality. In the years since her initial pre-pandemic fame made her a household name (if your household had children under the age of 17 or a lot of gay relatives visiting), Rae has become a bona fide triple threat: dancer, singer, and actress. Throw in some occasional modeling to that string of careers, and Rae might just quietly be one of the most powerful people in entertainment today.

If you thought that the Addison Accolades would eventually cease when people finally got tired of her, think again: Addison Rae is here to stay. While her four-song pop EP from August might’ve had some people questioning if Rae’s “fans” were just being ironic, it’s safe to say that Rae’s role in the new holiday slasher horror Thanksgiving demonstrates that she has real talent. Rae may only have a bit part in the movie, but it’s more than enough material to prove that this ingénue has what it takes for real Hollywood longevity.
