Mitt Romney, the Republican senator from Utah who’s a Mormon father of five, a Black Lives Matter protester, and former private investment company giant who just turned 75, isn’t exactly who you’d expect to be a fan of a mustachioed Gen Z indie artist who donates a portion of ticket sales to abortion rights organizations. But today, Romney posted on Twitter that he’d met up with TikTok famous musician Jack Rutter, who goes by the name Ritt Momney.
Rutter, a 22-year-old Salt Lake City native whose cover of “Put Your Records On” catapulted him to fame in 2020, told Deseret News that he’d chosen the name “Ritt Momney” when he was in a high school garage band and had kept the name when his bandmates left to go on Mormon missions.
