Lafayette, Lousiana. With a population of 120,623, Lafayette is ranked as the 214th most-populated city in the USA. Addison spends a lot of time in Los Angeles now, which is 1,761 miles away. It would take you 26 hours to drive between the two cities.

This makes her a Libra, the seventh sign of the Zodiac. We think Libras are good at dancing and social media.
5. She's 5 foot 6 inches!

6. She originally wanted to become a journalist!
Before moving to Los Angeles, Addison went to college to study journalism with the hopes of one day becoming a sports writer or broadcaster. Plenty of time for that, especially when there's TikTok videos to make.

9. She's launched her own makeup!
Addison often films makeup tutorials for her YouTube channel, and in the summer of 2020, she released her own makeup range called ITEM.
10. She can juggle!
When she's not doing complicated dance challenges, she can occasionally be found juggling fruit on camera. The first evidence of juggling was spotted on a 15th century piece of art, which showed an Egyptian prince and acrobats throwing balls around. It probably was invented much earlier than that, because there were no comics or apps then.
