Addison Rae is still riding high after an unforgettable experience at Wembley Stadium, where she was invited onstage by none other than Lana Del Rey.
The surprise duet, which saw Rae perform her hit single “Diet Pepsi” with Del Rey, left the rising star feeling elated and deeply grateful. In an emotional Instagram post, Rae reflected on the moment, thanking Del Rey for the opportunity and sharing how meaningful the performance was for her.
This marks a significant milestone in Rae’s blossoming music career, with the singer-songwriter continuing to build momentum ahead of her debut world tour.
A Moment to Remember at Wembley Stadium
On Thursday, during the London leg of Lana Del Rey’s U.K. and Ireland stadium tour, Addison Rae took to the stage in front of thousands of fans for an unexpected collaboration.
Rae joined Del Rey for a special performance of Rae’s own hit, “Diet Pepsi,” marking a huge moment in the singer’s career. The duo also performed “57.5,” an unreleased track that Del Rey debuted at Stagecoach earlier in the year.
Rae was clearly overwhelmed by the experience, sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram to commemorate the night. “I will never forget this. Thank you so much to the most beautiful divine woman, heart, soul, mind…, Lana. I am the happiest and luckiest girl on earth. Being next to you is spiritual,” Rae wrote alongside a photo of herself and Del Rey beaming at each other on stage.
Fans and fellow musicians were quick to shower Rae with support and congratulations in the comments, celebrating the once-in-a-lifetime moment. The photo, capturing the two artists under the stadium lights, quickly gained thousands of likes and comments, further cementing the unexpected duet as a highlight of the evening.
Addison Rae’s Big Year and Upcoming Tour
The performance at Wembley is just one of the many milestones Rae has hit in 2024. Last month, she announced her debut world tour, The Addison Tour, which will begin on August 26 in Dublin.
The tour will take Rae across Europe, North America, and Australia, with stops in major cities like London, Paris, Austin, New York City, and Los Angeles, before concluding in Australia in November.
Rae’s debut album, Addison, was released in June and has already achieved significant success, debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The album’s success, combined with the announcement of her first headlining tour, signals the beginning of what promises to be an exciting new chapter in Rae’s music career.
On social media, Rae expressed her excitement for the upcoming tour, writing, “THE ADDISON TOUR IS REALLY REAL!!!!!! I can’t believe I get to sing and dance for you (and with you) this Fall. Are you coming?”
Rebranding and New Beginnings
In addition to her growing music career, Rae is also rebranding herself for this new chapter. She recently shared that she would be going simply by “Addison” moving forward, dropping her last name for a more streamlined stage name. “I just am tired of also signing Addison Rae.
It’s really long. I just would rather sign ‘Addison,'” she explained in a conversation with Quen Blackwell on her YouTube series Feeding Starving Celebrities.
With her debut album and the Addison Tour on the horizon, this shift in branding is part of Rae’s evolution as an artist, signaling her desire to step into her own and embrace the next stage of her career.
Addison Rae’s experience at Wembley Stadium, performing alongside the legendary Lana Del Rey, marks a pivotal moment in her music career. With the upcoming Addison Tour, her debut album Addison already making waves, and an exciting rebranding, Rae is poised to take her place among the top names in the music industry.
The unexpected duet with Del Rey, a highlight in her journey, shows just how far Rae has come, and fans are eager to see what she does next on her highly anticipated world tour.
