Country music star Kaitlin Butts surprised fans with a mini-movie.
Butts is one of the fastest-rising talents in country music, and she’s built herself a rabid and loyal following with red dirt and honky-tonk-style tunes.
She also released her fourth album, “Hello, Honky Tonk,” on Friday, Oct. 30. While it’s early, there’s a high chance it’s going to put up big numbers.

Kaitlin Butts releases mini-movie
Butts released a short music film for her fans on Wednesday, and it’s titled, “Hello, Honky Tonk: The Mini Musical.”
The film is a little over 34 minutes long, and is an ambitious swing for the fence after dropping her fourth album.
