The All-American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter is joining OnlyFans.
The band’s lead singer, 41, shared the news in an interview with GQ published on Wednesday, June 4, revealing that he hopes the platform will allow the group a closer connection with their fans.
“Yeah, I’m starting an OnlyFans. And the All-American Rejects are behind me doing it, and it’s really nice to be supported by my band in this wild adventure of 2025 for us,” Ritter told the outlet.
Ritter’s new endeavor to engage fans, he said, is all in the name of innovation.
“[The] excitement behind this whole thing is like, ‘Where else can we be disruptive?’” Ritter explained. “We’ve always been a band who’s got a tongue bursting through the cheek when it comes to our music. So why not, you know, do a little peen bursting through a zipper?”
As for what kind of content fans can expect on his OnlyFans page, Ritter answered, “Full-frontal rock and roll with all access,” though he didn’t elaborate further on what that might entail.
The singer said the page will be free, however, he quipped, “If anything, maybe you’ll pay 69 cents, just because we’re little cheeky cats.”
Ritter added, “I think most people don’t realize that OnlyFans was a product of the pandemic that started as a Patreon for artists. And then it was infiltrated by a genre that made it become a bit of a trope.”
“It’s a platform that is offering an experience where the artist can set the price, and it’s artists-to-fans. There’s no middleman, there’s no subscription costs, unless that artist chooses to do that. That seems like a good thing,” he told GQ.
Ritter joins a long list of celebrities who have signed up to OnlyFans in the past, including Cardi B, who used the platform to promote her hit song “WAP” back in 2020, Denise Richards and Lily Allen, whose account is dedicated solely to pictures of her feet.
Allen, 40, joined the platform in July 2024. A few months later, she said she was making more money from her feet pics on OnlyFans than music streams on Spotify.
“Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this,” an X user commented on one of Allen’s posts last October.
Allen responded, “Imagine being [an] artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
