Addison Rae has received a major nod from one of pop’s biggest icons, Kylie Minogue.
The American singer and social media star revealed Kylie had messaged her on Instagram during an interview with British radio station Kiss, following the release of her debut album Addison last month.
“She told me she loved my music, which was really cool,” Rae said. “She DM’d me the other day… and I was like, this is so cool.”
Rae even teased a potential duet, saying she replied to Kylie: “Let’s sing ‘Slow’ together.” The Emmy-nominated hit topped charts worldwide in 2003 and remains one of Minogue’s most iconic tracks.

The praise comes as Kylie was recently honoured as the first female artist in the O2 Arena’s exclusive “21 Club”, celebrating artists who headline 21 shows at the venue.
The honour follows four sold-out performances from her critically acclaimed ‘Tension Tour’. The string of shows brought her total shows at the London venue to 24 – surpassing the 21-show requirement for club entry.
Kylie previously took to the storied arena during her ‘KylieX2008’, ‘Aphrodite: Les Folies’, ‘Kiss Me Once’, and ‘Golden’ tours.
She now joins a prestigious lineup of performers including Prince, Michael Bublé, Take That, One Direction, Drake, Young Voices, Micky Flanagan, and Michael McIntyre. The club was originally created to honour Prince’s record-breaking 21 consecutive sold-out shows at the O2 in 2007.
Earlier this year, APRA honoured her with the Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music, a lifetime achievement honour that’s considered by many to be the music industry’s highest distinction
The Ted Albert Award is decided by the APRA board of writer and publisher directors. Previous recipients include the late Mushroom Group chairman Michael Gudinski, Paul Kelly, The Seekers, Cold Chisel, former Alberts CEO Fifa Riccobono, Colin Hay of Men at Work and last year’s recipient Bart Willoughby, the trailblazing Indigenous artist and the driving force behind No Fixed Address.
Rae announced extra shows for the Australian leg of her world tour following the release of Addison, which landed at #4 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart. She’s has received widespread acclaim from critics and fans alike, with the Associated Press declaring “a new pop powerhouse is born” and Billboard stating it “solidifies her pop star status.”
