Addison Rae is touring down under – here's what you need to know
Hot on the heels of her critically acclaimed debut album, TikTok star turned pop diva Addison Rae will bring her hyper-feminine it-girl hits to Australia in November.
The 24-year-old will perform in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney between November 11 and 17 as part of her first-ever world tour – The Addison Tour – which will also see her travel across North America and Europe before the end of the year.
The pop star will perform tracks from her debut album Addison, which was released earlier this month and landed at No.4 on the Billboard Top 200 and No.2 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Her music has been widely praised, with critics applauding her ability to nod to pop icons like Madonna and Kylie Minogue, yet still establish her own 'hazy, twilight, cosmopolitan cool' sound.
Rae's rapid ascent to pop stardom has been surprising to some given her origins on TikTok. Before releasing her album, she was largely known for posting cute choreographed dance routines on social media – videos that were so well-received, they earned her over 88.5 million TikTok followers. She was also known as Kourtney Kardashian's friend, and even featured in some episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
However, the tides began to turn once she released her EP AR in August 2023, which featured none other than Brat Summer queen Charli XCX. From there, she appeared on stage alongside Charli and Aussie pop prince Troye Sivan, and even featured on one of Charli's tracks (even if you're not a fan of dance-pop, you've still likely heard Rae's piercing scream at the beginning of Von Dutch Remix).
This catapulted Rae (who was born in Louisiana, just two hours away from the hometown of Britney Spears) from ring lights to stage lights, and led her to release a string of mega-successful singles like Diet Pepsi and Aquamarine, the former of which became her first song to hit the Billboard Hot 100.
Since releasing her album on June 6, Rae has been described as the 'new pop powerhouse' and 'pop music's newest it girl'.
No stranger to the camera, she has also performed several times on-screen, including in Netflix's He's All That and Eli Roth's horror film Thanksgiving, which also starred Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy). She was also recently cast in the R-rated live-action hybrid Animal Friends opposite A-list actors like Ryan Reynolds, Jason Momoa, Dan Levy and Aubrey Plaza.

Stormi mocks mum Kylie Jenner's King Kylie era
Kylie Jenner's daughter Stormi has hilariously mocked her mother's iconic King Kylie era in a new viral video. The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 27, took to TikTok on Monday with a clip of her daughter, who she shares with rapper Travis Scott, reacting to a 2014 photo of her. 'Did you dye your hair in that photo?' The shocked seven-year-old asked her makeup mogul mother in the video, to which Jenner replied 'No it was a wig. Mummy used to love wearing wigs, coloured wigs'. 'A blue wig with a red outfit? Not a good combo,' Stormi sassily told her mother, with her eyes wide open and her hands on her hips. 'That's what she gets!' the seven-year-old told the camera. The video received over 58 million views within the first day. Kylie Jenner Credit: Braodimage;Shutterstock The King Kylie era, which spanned from 2014 to 2016, coincided with the launch of her makeup brand Kylie Cosmetics. The reality star was often spotted sporting colourful wigs and skin-tight clothing in this period, with the era earning its name from the makeup mogul's Instagram handle at the time. While Stormi doesn't seem sold on her mother's former style, fans in the comments shared their love for the era. 'One day she'll understand the cultural significance of the King Kylie era… one day,' one fan commented on the post. 'She doesn't know King Kylie paid for that house,' another added. In a 2024 interview with Elle, Jenner said while King Kylie will always be a part of her, she has grown out of certain trends since becoming a mother.

Netflix starts production on series adaptation of My Brilliant Career
Netflix is adapting Miles Franklin's seminal novel into a streaming series, with production beginning in Adelaide. The series will star Philippa Northeast as Sybylla, Franklin's free-spirited heroine who chafes against expectations of a rural life with dreams of a more extraordinary life. When she leaves to live with her well-off grandmother, she meets two men, the wealthy Harry and a jackaroo named Frank. Franklin wrote the book in the 19th century when she was still a teenager and it was published in 1901 after she contacted Henry Lawson. It is considered one of the most iconic works of Australian literature. The new series will span six episodes and will also star British actor Christopher Chung, best known for his role in spy drama Slow Horses, Four Weddings and a Funeral's Anna Chancellor, Andor's Genevieve O'Reilly, Jake Dunn, Kate Mulvaney, Sherry-Lee Watson, Miah Madden, and Alexander England. The adaptation was created by Liz Doran, who worked on Please Like Me and Barons, with Alyssa McClelland and Anne Renton to direct. Jungle Entertainment is the production company. Doran said in a statement, 'It's been a privilege to work with so many incredible creatives on this reimagining of Miles Franklin's rollicking tale of a young woman's quest to determine her own life.' My Brilliant Career had previously been adapted as a 1979 movie by Gillian Armstrong and is one of the best regarded films of the Australian New Wave, a period of artistic excellence that also birthed the likes of Picnic at Hanging Rock, Mad Max, Wake in Fright and Gallipoli. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival where is was in competition for a Palme d'Or, and Judy Davis won a BAFTA for her performance as Sybylla. The film also starred Sam Neill, Wendy Hughes and Robert Grubb. Last year, the Melbourne Theatre Company mounted a musical stage production of the title. Franklin was born in 1879 and grew up on a property in the Brindabella Valley in NSW. After the publication of My Brilliant Career, Franklin lived in the US and the UK, returning to Australia in 1932. She was active in literary circles and encouraged other young female writers. Her other works include All That Swagger, My Career Goes Bung, Bring the Monkey and Old Blastus of Bandicoot. She established the Miles Franklin literary prize with a bequest in her will. Since its first year in 1957, winners have included Patrick White, Thomas Kenneally, Ruth Park, David Malouf, Helen Demidenko, Peter Carey and Anna Funder.
