Addison Rae saw TikTok as the perfect launchpad for her career.
The 24-year-old pop star developed a huge fan following on the video-sharing app amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and Addison admits that her TikTok success allowed her to pursue her long-term career ambitions.
The 'Diet Pepsi' hitmaker - who has turned her focus towards music and acting in recent years - said to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: "I think in the beginning, especially, and starting out, I always knew that I wanted to make music. I always knew I wanted to act. I think I just knew I wanted to perform. That was just something that was really obvious to me since I was a little girl.
"When TikTok happened, I was almost like, well, this seems like a really nice way to get myself to Los Angeles first, because I think in Louisiana there wasn't as many opportunities or like possibility, really, to pursue that profession necessarily, unless you just got really, really lucky."
