Kaitlin Butts is shooting off fingers and poisoning suitors \u2014 including real-life husband Cleto Cordero of Flatland Cavalry<\/a> \u2014 in the gloriously campy video for \u201cYou Ain\u2019t Gotta Die (To Be Dead to Me),\u201d the track off her album Roadrunner!<\/em> that blew up on TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n The music video, directed by Chris Beyrooty, is rooted in spaghetti western imagery: sun-baked building facades, dusty roads, and horse-drawn carriages all help tell Butts\u2019 tale of a vengeful woman, Kissin\u2019 Katie B.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMaking this music video was something I\u2019ve wanted to do since I put out this album,\u201d Butts said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019ve had the treatment for it since January 2024, when I was writing the videos for\u00a0\u2018Wild Juanita\u2019s,\u2019\u00a0\u2018Hunt You Down\u2019\u00a0and\u00a0\u2018Other Girls.\u2019\u00a0When\u00a0\u2018You Ain\u2019t Gotta Die\u2019\u00a0started to have its viral moment, I was so excited to create something I\u2019ve had in my head for so long. We looped in director Chris Beyrooty to help me bring it all to life and I could not be more pleased with how it turned out. I took some inspiration from some of my favorite movies,\u00a0Holes<\/em>,\u00a0Django Unchained<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Chicago<\/em>. Expect a little dance with a side of blood, lipstick and justice.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou Ain\u2019t Gotta Die (To Be Dead to Me)\u201d caught fire on TikTok back in May, after the country singer Avery Anna posted a video of herself lip-syncing to the song. Ella Langley, Brianna LaPaglia, and even Valerie Bertinelli all followed suit. Eventually, the clip hit more than 120 million TikTok views.<\/p>\n \u201cThat sparked a huge streaming spike, and it is kind of changing my life before my eyes,\u201d Butts told Rolling Stone<\/em> in June. \u201cIt\u2019s a year later after the album release, and I keep seeing friends and people that I have followed for a long time, and random influencers who are comedians who I have followed forever, are posting them.
