Kaitlin Butts fakes wardrobe malfunction to help with best friend's proposal
It turns out some wardrobe malfunctions come with a romantic ending. On July 20, country music singer Kaitlin Butts shared a video on TikTok of her inviting her longtime best friend and tour manager, Sophia Wells, onto the stage to help her fix a wardrobe malfunction. But the wardrobe malfunction was staged — and what happened next was worth the deception. As Wells was tying the back of Butts' corset, the singer reminisced on their close friendship. 'I'm kind of glad this is happening,' Butts said into the mic. 'We actually met here in Oklahoma City about 13 years ago. This is my college roommate from Oklahoma City, we went to college here.' The video was taken during her July 12 show at The Zoo Amphitheatre in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, per Concert Archives. 'Two years ago today, or this month I guess, this beautiful woman,' she said of Wells, who attempted to walk away before Butts brought her back on stage. 'This is a special moment for me,' she added. Butts went on to recall how Wells sent her a direct message two years ago telling her that her guitar player was 'really cute.' Wells then asked if Butts needed a background singer — which led to her becoming Butts' tour manager. 'I'm just honored to have her,' Butts continued into the mic. 'And I think she should turn around right now, too.' When Wells turned around, her now-fiancé, Adam Duran, was down on one knee with a ring in his hand. 'And that's the story of how my college roommate became my tour manager,' Butts wrote in a text overlay. 'And how my tour manager and my guitar player found love.' 'And it all started with a DM,' she added. Fans took to the comment section to share their excitement. 'And once again, I'm crying for strangers on the internet,' one fan wrote. 'The opposite of Coldplay Jumbotron vibes. Congrats to the happy couple!' another fan commented. 'She's so good at her job that now she's gonna be saving you on one less room during tours! congrats to the happy couple!!' a third fan joked. But while Wells and Duran were busy securing their love, Butts decided to keep her own love (and old love) just as close. On July 14, Butts took to Instagram to reveal that one of her ex-boyfriends was in the band that opened for her and another one of her exes was the program director for the venue she performed at. According to The Oklahoman, Butts is married to Cleto Cordero, the lead singer and guitarist of Flatland Cavalry — the band that she performed with on July 12. 'All my exes live in Oklahoma lol (no bad blood tho with these ones, thank gawd),' she wrote in the caption. Butts is a Tulsa native now based in Nashville, per the Grand Ole Opry. Her latest album 'Roadrunner' was released in June 2024. Butts will be performing shows across the country through Jan. 30 with her next show scheduled for Aug. 2 at the Surly Brewing Co. in Minneapolis, Minnesota, according to her website.
