Sombr’s VMA Tease with Addison Rae Has Fans Losing It — Is a Surprise Collab Coming?

Quinn Parker here, and I’ve had three espressos and still can’t sit still about this one. The VMAs just dropped their lineup, and while the stage is already packed with legends, fresh faces, and surprise cameos, one name has everyone on edge: Sombr. That’s right — the Billboard Hot 100 sensation who’s been turning heads since his breakout single “12 to 12” is now stirring up serious buzz for a possible performance alongside none other than pop queen Addison Rae. And let me tell you, the way he danced around the question at LAX was *chef’s kiss*—sly, smirky, and dripping with implication.
Caught between flights and fanfare, Sombr admitted he’s still in disbelief over landing on the same stage as music’s biggest icons. Not only that—he’s up for two major awards: Best New Artist and Best Alternative Artist. Talk about a rookie year! But when we brought up Addison, oh honey, the energy shifted. He didn’t say no—far from it. Instead, he gave that classic “I’m not saying anything, but… look at me” pause, then casually mentioned she’s “busy on tour.” Translation? She’s not ruling it out. And fans? They’re already drafting petitions and hashtag campaigns. #AddisonAndSombrLive is trending faster than a TikTok dance challenge.
Let’s be real—this isn’t the first time these two have set the internet ablaze. Back in early 2025, they were spotted filming the music video for “12 to 12,” where their chemistry was so electric it made even the camera crew blush. Rumors flew like wildfire: Are they dating? Was it all staged? The truth? Sombr insists it was purely for the visuals—“all for the cameras,” he said with a wink. But let’s be honest, if the script called for a love story, they nailed it. Still, he’s quick to shrug off the romance talk, grinning and saying, “I’m one with the ladies.” Uh-huh. Sure you are, sweetie.
What’s wilder? His new album, Called I Barely Know Her, drops Friday—just in time for the VMAs. That timing? No coincidence. This feels like a full-blown campaign: new music, award buzz, and a potential duet tease with one of the most visible stars in pop culture. Whether it’s an actual collaboration or just a masterclass in marketing, one thing’s clear—Sombr knows how to keep people guessing.
So what’s next? Will Addison make a surprise appearance? Will they perform together? Or is this all just a dazzling distraction while Sombr builds his empire? One thing’s certain: the VMAs just got a whole lot more interesting. And honestly? I need more tea. Like, immediately.
Whew! That was a LOT to process!
