Rae was a competitive dancer in her youth. While attending Louisiana State University, she started gaining traction on TikTok through uploading videos of herself dancing to popular songs. She joined the app in July 2019, joined the TikTok collective The Hype House that December, and signed to talent agency WME the following January in 2020. She's currently the fourth-most followed person on TikTok with 88.6 million followers (having at one point been the second-most followed, behind Charli D'Amelio).
Since 2020, Rae has leveraged her TikTok celebrity into other ventures. She starred in the movie He's All That, began a pop music career with the single "Obsessed", launched a cosmetics range named Item Beauty, and hosts the podcast That Was Fun with her mother Sheri.
She entered a relationship with record producer Omer Fedi, best-known for his work with Lil Nas X and Machine Gun Kelly, in 2021.
