Addison Rae’s latest single, "High Fashion," just made its debut, and while the numbers are solid, the internet had other plans. The song pulled in 1.36 million streams on Spotify in its first full day, making it her second-biggest debut yet. Sounds impressive, right? Well, not according to some social media users who wasted no time cracking jokes.
Instead of celebrating the milestone, the conversation quickly turned into a roast session. From skepticism about its impact to memes about foot-loving listeners, the reactions were as entertaining as the song itself. Let’s dive into the chaos.
Addison Rae’s “High Fashion” Sparks Online Frenzy
Whenever a celebrity drops new music, the internet becomes a battlefield of opinions. Addison Rae, who first gained fame on TikTok before dipping her toes into music, is no stranger to this. With "High Fashion," fans and critics alike were ready to analyze, praise, or completely clown on the track’s performance.
After seeing 1.36 million streams in 24 hours, some expected a bit more impact. But instead of climbing the charts, the song’s debut was met with skepticism and sarcasm. This led to a viral moment, with users flocking to social media to share their thoughts in the most unfiltered way possible.
Once the numbers were out, the jokes practically wrote themselves. One user (@LuckyJupiter33) summed it up with a blunt, “That’s it?” as if a million-plus streams were pocket change.
Others like @artp0pfantasy were a little more sympathetic, reminding everyone, “She’s a new artist, don’t even 😭” a valiant effort to defend Addison’s still-growing music career.
Then came the shade. “Damn, 1.3M can’t get you to chart?” one person (@marceldcreator) quipped, highlighting that even strong streaming numbers don’t always guarantee chart success.
Meanwhile, someone else (@JDoza1) took a completely different route, referencing a more niche aspect of Addison’s fanbase: “Got something in there for the footies!” because, well, certain fans never miss an opportunity.
Another standout comment (via @forviralthings): “Smoking is injurious to health.” Perfectly fitting into the chaos of the discourse. This is the internet, after all.
And then there were those who really believed Addison was destined for pop stardom. “And they said she was gonna be the main pop girl…” one person (@breathinfys) mocked, implying that "High Fashion" didn’t exactly scream Pop Queen Era.
To top it all off, one brutally honest listener (@ICYBARBIE) added, “Now imagine if the song was good..” Why stop at roasting the numbers when you can go for the music too?
Of course, the internet will always internet. While the reactions were ruthless, Addison Rae still managed to pull in over a million streams in a day something many artists dream of. Plus, the virality of the reactions only added to the song’s visibility. Whether people were streaming out of genuine interest or sheer curiosity after seeing the discourse, it kept "High Fashion" in the conversation.
So, was this the pop takeover some had predicted? Maybe not. But if there’s one thing we can count on, it’s that Addison Rae will keep making music, and the internet will keep reacting, one meme at a time.
