American pop star and social media phenomenon Addison Rae made the most of the Western Australian summer this weekend, enjoying a vibrant beach day in Perth ahead of her scheduled festival performance.
Sun, Surf and Smiles at Cottesloe
The 25-year-old Louisiana-born entertainer was spotted at the iconic Cottesloe Beach on Saturday, clearly relishing the warm weather. Dressed in a pink G-string bikini that showcased her toned physique, Rae was seen laughing and splashing in the crystal-clear ocean, wading in waist-deep before jogging out of the surf with a broad smile.
Appearing in high spirits, the strawberry blonde later moved to the sand, where she was photographed stretching and striking a series of yoga-inspired poses. A friend captured images of Rae arching her back and tossing her wet hair during the fun-filled outing.
Australian Tour and Fan Frenzy
This Perth visit follows Rae's recent appearances at sold-out festivals in both Brisbane and Perth. Her current Australian tour has generated significant excitement, albeit with some controversy. Sixty thousand fans scrambled for tickets when concerts went on sale last July, facing long wait times due to the limited capacity of the chosen venues.
Rather than booking large arenas, the tour has opted for more intimate settings like Sydney's Enmore Theatre, which holds approximately 1,600 people. This strategy left some supporters disappointed despite the high demand.
Grammy Nod and Continued Rise
The beach day comes on the heels of significant career news for the young performer. It was recently announced that Addison Rae has scored her first Grammy nomination. She is nominated in the Best New Artist category and will compete against acts including global girl group Katseye, Olivia Dean, and Lola Young at next month's ceremony.
Rae's Australian adventure, marked by sun-drenched relaxation and upcoming high-energy performances, underscores her transition from TikTok sensation to a recognised figure in the mainstream music industry.
