Addison Rae Steps Out In A Blindfold While Walking Around LAX Airport

If there's one thing the Louisiana native is going to do, it's be bold and daring, and she took that in the form of a rather unexpected outfit.

Yesterday, on November 19th, the "Headphones On" singer was photographed and filmed walking around the famous Los Angeles airport wearing a casual t-shirt, black leggings, and, most notably, a black lacy blindfold across her face. The blindfold was actively covering her eyes as she moved throughout the airport, quickly capturing the attention of photographers and fans. You can see photos of her here!

Fans React To Addison's Blindfold & Grammy Nomination

The 25-year-old, who initially rose to fame for making dancing TikTok videos, has been in the headlines a lot recently, as she drastically turned her career around. She began acting in films like He's All That in 2021, and eventually began singing and releasing music that same year, collaborating with other trending musicians like Charli XCX.

Addison's fame grew tremendously over the last year, when she released her debut album, Addison, which received rave reviews from numerous pop music fans and lovers. Reporters and pop culture enthusiasts are eager to learn more about her, especially now that she's officially a Grammy-nominated singer, scoring a nomination for the 2026 Best New Artist category.

Fresh off her nomination announcement, the dancer is continuing to turn heads with her blindfold, which garnered mixed reviews on social media. Some Instagram users called the singer "so desperate" upon seeing the photos, while others thought it was "so camp."

"How do you see?" asked a user.

"Someone wants attention big time, because, why do that?" added another.

"Anything for attention," echoed another user.
