Kaitlin Butts Admits She Ghosted Tinder Matches After Inviting Them to Her Concerts: "At Least They Got Good Music"

Kaitlin Butts' admission about ghosting Tinder matches after inviting them to her concerts highlights a bold, if controversial, early marketing tactic that helped her rise. She discussed the strategy on the Girls in Low Places Podcast, explaining that she would swipe on Tinder, invite all the guys she found to her shows, and charge very modest ticket prices. At the time, she says tickets were about $10 each, and she believed recruiting ten men would yield about $100 in potential revenue. The plan hinged on filling seats while leveraging curiosity, with Butts noting that some fans would discover her music in ways they hadn’t anticipated. The tactic drew mixed reactions, yet the anecdote underscored the hustle behind breaking through in music and the lengths artists will go to grow an audience.
