The song “You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead to Me)” by Kaitlin Butts is having a moment.<\/p>\n
First, it went viral on TikTok. Then it really blew up once stars like Ella Langley started reposting it.<\/p>\n
Now, fans are telling such crazy breakup stories in the comments that Kaitlin is reading those stories live on stage before singing the song.<\/p>\n
And after each one, Kaitlin gets the crowd to chant: “RIP. Dead to me.”<\/p>\n
Here are some other ones she read out recently:<\/p>\n
1. “Left me for her coworker on Christmas Day.”<\/p>\n
2. “Used my car, was a slob, and wanted a mommy, not a wife.”<\/p>\n
3. “Said I wasn’t allowed to wear hoop earrings because they were ‘too much.'”<\/p>\n
4. “Gave me a promise ring\u2026 and then got another girl pregnant.”<\/p>\n
5. “Brought her ex to our wedding.”<\/p>\n
6. “Stole my dog in the breakup.”<\/p>\n
This segment of Kaitlin’s show has turned out to be half therapy, half roast. But the crowd is loving it. So, we’re hoping it sticks around. (Whiskey Riff)<\/p>\n
