Addison Rae changes her name and reflects on life in Lousiana
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Addison Rae is picking up a whisk and making major reveals on life in Louisiana. The 'Diet Pepsi' singer and TikTok star joined longtime friend Quen Blackwell to cook alligator bites in the latest episode of Feeding Starving Celebrities on YouTube. Sharing southern roots, the pair discussed life before moving to California, Addison Rae sharing that moving to Los Angeles gave her a new perspective on life. Expressing that before the move, she felt as if she did not have much purpose, using her free time to pretend to be a member of the band One Direction. 'I would try to find the usernames of the [One Direction] members like that, and then I would follow people so they would think it was them. I was so bored,' But for Quen, the southern charm was never far, sharing that every time she visited Addison's house, she felt as if she were back in the south. 'I miss coming over to your house when your whole family was there, all the food was so good. It felt like Addison had a little Southern home in the middle of LA craziness, it was everything.' Reflecting on those memories, Addison shared how she has evolved in her journey and revealed a major change for her future 'I think I've grown past just being called Addison Rae. Naming the album 'Addison' was a way to tie everything together.' Addison says that after the album, she will return to being just Addison. 'It's going back to the roots, really.' Quen adored the idea, gushing, 'It's like going back to the truth, what you were called as a kid. You've always been Addison.' The one-hour show wrapped up with the two taste testing their homemade alligator bites and air-fried shrimp, garnering over 1.5 million views on YouTube. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
