About Us

Venus, Darling is the musical partnership and unexpected love story of singer-songwriters Katie Todd and Betsy Ade. After years of living parallel lives in the Midwest music scene, the two finally connected in 2023 when Betsy invited Katie to join her band. What started as a powerful creative collaboration quickly grew into a profound romance. Choosing authenticity meant weathering judgment, navigating the loss of past relationships, and entirely rebuilding their lives from the ground up. Today, Venus, Darling is a triumphant, out-loud celebration of resilience. Blending years of hard-earned wisdom and undeniable chemistry, their music proves that it is never too late to find your voice, your chosen family, and your person.
