The Tulsa-born singer-songwriter will perform a string of headline dates alongside a special appearance at the Highways Festival, held at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall. The run marks a major moment for Butts as she continues to expand her global reach, following a rapid rise that has seen her become one of country music’s most distinctive new voices.

Butts’ recent momentum includes an appearance in Ella Langley’s music video for the hit Choosin’ Texas, as well as co-directing and writing the treatment for Unglued by Flatland Cavalry. These creative ventures further highlight her growing influence beyond her own recordings.

Her latest project, The Yeehaw Sessions, arrived last year as her first release since signing with Republic Records. The EP sees Butts reinterpreting a diverse selection of tracks, from Chappell Roan’s Red Wine Supernova to Jimmy Eat World’s The Middle, alongside a tribute to her roots with Tulsa Time, originally made famous by Don Williams. It also features her viral fan favourite You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead To Me), which has racked up tens of millions of streams and social media views.

Prior to that, Butts released her acclaimed album Roadrunner!, a bold, theatrical project inspired by Oklahoma!, reimagined through a modern country lens. The album cemented her reputation for blending storytelling, genre experimentation and performance flair.

Her ascent has also seen her join Lainey Wilson on tour, as well as earn recognition from the Country Music Hall Of Fame and industry initiatives spotlighting emerging talent.

With her return to UK and European stages imminent, Butts promises a lively, characterful live show that reflects her unique take on contemporary country.
