Addison Rae made it clear at the 2026 Grammys that she won’t let outside noise affect the way she sees herself, even as her profile continues to rise.
The 25-year-old artist, who attended the ceremony at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, addressed public misconceptions while speaking with MY! News.
When asked what people misunderstand most about her, Rae didn’t hesitate. “Honestly, nothing,” he said. “I wish they knew less.”
The comment summed up his calm, confident mood on one of the biggest nights of his career.
Rae is a first-time Grammy nominee, earning a nod for Best New Artist at the 2026 ceremony hosted by Trevor Noah.
She competes in the category alongside Olivia Dean, Katseye, The Marías, Sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren and Lola Young.
While she wasn’t interested in correcting the rumors, Rae happily clarified a lighter detail related to her hit song.
She confirmed that her love for Diet Pepsi is very real.
“I actually drink a lot of Diet Pepsi,” he said, adding that he has it in all his green rooms.
“It’s probably in my green room now.” If he took home a Grammy, he already knew how he would celebrate and said he would toast the victory with another Diet Pepsi.
Rae, who wore a custom Alaïa dress at the awards, reflected on how surreal the moment felt.
She described the last year and a half as an emotional whirlwind and said being at the Grammys, surrounded by familiar faces, felt like a dream.
She added that she feels grateful to be able to experience it all.
Despite the milestone, Rae said she is still looking to the future. She admitted that she tries to slow down, but described herself as very ambitious, with many goals she hopes to achieve.
At the same time, he emphasized the importance of appreciating the moment and enjoying how far you have come.
Using the Grammy spotlight in her own way, Rae didn’t focus on rumors or labels.
Instead, he leaned on gratitude, trust and a sense of humor – headphones firmly on when it comes to public opinion.
