Addison Rae had a fiery message for her “haters” as she made her stage debut on the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
“To my fans who’ve supported me from Day 1, I like you, thanks,” Rae, 25, quipped in the course of her Saturday, April 11, performance, per social media footage. “And to my haters? Suck my d***.”
Rae dazzled the gang with several of her biggest hits on Saturday, also enlisting Dance Mothers alum-turned-actress Maddie Ziegler to bounce to “Aquamarine.” The set kicked off Rae’s “The Fame and Glory Show” tour.
Rae, who rose to fame as a TikTok influencer before taking on the pop charts and earning her first Grammy nomination, has clear goals for her music profession.
“I walked in with a binder, and I made a slideshow,” Rae told Rolling Stone in a January 2025 profile. “I just mood-boarded my vibes. I literally had no music to play [Columbia Records CEO Ron Perry] at that time, so it was about trust. Like, ‘Yes, I’m within the clouds, and I enjoy being there. But I’m also serious.’”
Rae further stressed that she at all times tries to be unapologetically herself when she hits the stage.
“People have decided who I’m,” she told the outlet. “I’ll be your girl round the corner, but possibly there’s a wild side to the girl round the corner.”
Rae continued, “TikTok definitely gave me a variety of things, so it will be really sad to [see it] go, but hopefully the things that I create and put out surpass that platform … but I won’t beg for it. I’ll work for it.”
As Rae’s profession has only exploded, she’s taking each moment because it comes.
Coachella 2026 tickets sold out inside roughly per week. Each weekends — General Admission and VIP — are gone, and the official waitlist is closed. For a festival that pulls visitors from over 60 countries and expects 125,000 fans each weekend, that type of demand signals something price understanding, whether you’re looking for resale passes […]
“I enjoy fame. I believe fame could be very exposing and raw, and it puts you ready that not everyone gets to experience,” the “Weight loss plan Pepsi” singer told The Guardian in December 2025. “I enjoy the luxurious of all of it, though in fact there may be a price you pay.”
She concluded, “I trust that the individuals who take pleasure in my artistry treat it with kindness and acceptance and love and understanding, in a way that perhaps I didn’t before, and that’s truthfully the dream, that I’m never fully understood. If that ever were to vary, I believe it will be quite boring actually.”
Rae will return to Coachella during its second weekend on April 18.
