"Step aside, Taylor Swift, there's more than one showgirl in town. On Oct. 3, Addison Rae took over New York's Terminal 5 as part of her first headlining tour, fittingly titled just the Addison Tour, in support of her self-titled debut album. While Rae made an acclaimed album in the studio, she proved that she's not a TikTok sensation cosplaying a pop star on stage - she's here to stay."
"Rae's show provided pomp, circumstance, and spectacle, but not in the way that you'd expect. Her set was stripped down to a projection curtain, small staircases, a lavish chandelier, and a monogrammed gate that opened the show, creating the vibe of an artsy, off-kilter burlesque show in a blackbox theater. However, Rae didn't need other bells or whistles to show her star power,"
Addison Rae headlined Terminal 5 on Oct. 3 as part of the Addison Tour supporting her self-titled debut album. The production favored a stripped-down, artsy burlesque aesthetic with a projection curtain, small staircases, a lavish chandelier, and a monogrammed gate. Rae delivered steady vocals and intense, sensual choreography while accompanied by four background dancers. Costume changes and burlesque-inspired lingerie referenced classic pop showgirl moments, including trench-coat reveals and sequined minidress-to-bra top transitions. A remix of "I Got It Bad" incorporated beats and piano stabs from "...Baby One More Time," nodding to Britney Spears while maintaining Rae's own performance identity. Acrobatic flips, splits, and dance breaks showcased her TikTok-honed skills.
