The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards just revealed their star-studded lineup, and while the event is packed with music’s biggest names, one rising star is already stealing the spotlight: Sombr. Fans are buzzing with speculation about a possible Addison Rae VMA cameo alongside the Billboard Hot 100 sensation.
We caught up with Sombr at LAX on Monday, and the artist couldn’t hide his excitement. “I’m still pinching myself,” he admitted, grinning from ear to ear. “Sharing the stage with music’s biggest names is surreal.”
Adding to the hype, Sombr is nominated for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Artist, marking a milestone moment in his skyrocketing career.
A Tease About Addison Rae
Of course, we had to ask the artist about Addison Rae. With his new album, Called I Barely Know Her, dropping this Friday, Sombr seemed to enjoy the question. He flashed a sly smile before quickly noting that the pop sensation is busy on tour.
But fans may not want to give up hope just yet. That brief pause? It spoke volumes. The possibility of Addison Rae making a surprise VMA appearance has already sent social media into a frenzy.
The Rumors That Started It All
Sombr and Rae first sparked romance rumors earlier this year while filming his music video for “12 to 12.” Their undeniable chemistry had fans convinced there was more than just a camera lens at play.
However, Sombr has been clear about keeping things professional. “It was all for the cameras,” he explained. “I’m still keeping my options open.” Despite the clarification, the Internet continues to speculate, and #SombrXAddison has been trending on multiple platforms.
Female Fans Are Loving Him
As for the love Sombr is getting from female fans, he just laughs. “I’m one with the ladies,” he said with a shrug, clearly enjoying the attention but staying humble.
His charm isn’t just on camera — it’s palpable in person. From casual encounters at the airport to interactions with fans online, Sombr’s magnetic personality is a big reason why the hype around him is only growing.
What to Expect at the VMAs
With nominations for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Artist, Sombr is expected to be a highlight of the night. Add a potential Addison Rae cameo into the mix, and the VMAs could turn into a historic pop culture moment.
Fans are already speculating: Will they perform a surprise collab? Could there be a playful on-stage moment hinting at more than friendship? The answers are anyone’s guess — but one thing is certain: the Internet is ready for every second.
Sombr’s Album Drops Friday
Adding to the excitement, Sombr’s new album, Called I Barely Know Her, hits streaming platforms Friday. With tracks that blend edgy alternative vibes with catchy pop hooks, critics are calling it his most ambitious project yet.
“It’s an album that really shows who I am as an artist,” Sombr said. “I can’t wait for people to hear it.”
Social Media Buzz
Fans have already taken to Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram to speculate on Addison Rae’s potential VMA appearance. Memes, countdowns, and fan edits are flooding the platforms, fueling even more hype around Sombr and his upcoming performance.
