Kaitlin Butts: From Tinder Tickets to Texas Country Stardom

Kaitlin Butts, a rising star in Texas country music, shared a unique ticket-selling strategy she used early in her career to attract audiences to her small bar shows. Before gaining mainstream success with albums like Roadrunner! and hit songs like “You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead To Me),” Butts revealed on the Girls In Low Places Podcast that she utilized Tinder to invite potential attendees to her performances. Charging $10 per ticket, she managed to fill seats and make a profit, leaving the unsuspecting Tinder matches surprised when she didn't stick around after the show. Despite now being married to Flatland Cavalry frontman Cleto Cordero, Butts' Tinder-ticket-selling era remains a humorous and memorable part of her journey as a country artist. With her growing popularity and upcoming tour dates opening for artists like Ella Langley and Brooks & Dunn, it seems that her unconventional tactics paid off in the end.
