THESE cowgirls get called buckle bunnies when creating Western TikToks with their friends, but they have turned the degrading insult into a compliment.
TikTok users Taylor Rousseau, Elva Steinmetz, and Amanda Simmons live together along with two cowboys, Luke Scornavacco and Cameron Grigg, in what they call the Tac House.

The western group that has amassed 408,500 followers on the social media platform creates content about country life, usually with a comedic twist.
The group typically posts silly videos of their antics around their Texas house or outside with their pigs and horses.
In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, members of the Tac House said: “We started posting the country lifestyle because it’s just crazy to some people and they enjoy that stuff.
“Cowboy life is hard work. Every single day, there are no days off.
“It’s not for the faint of heart,” they said.
While country life is serious business, the girls in the house “always” get called buckle bunnies for how they dress.
A buckle bunny is a derogatory term used to describe cowgirls that dress up to attract cowboys.
In one video, Taylor and Amanda are dolled up in flashy outfits with cowgirl boots covered in fringe and sparkles.
The comedic post has text that reads: “When the boys tell us we can’t overdress” for the rodeo.
But the caption reads: “What can I say…. They’re the queens of western fashion.”
Instead of feeding into the negative energy, “Taylor did her best to try to change the perspective on the [buckle bunny] term,” the Tac House said.
“Where people try to use it to belittle or degrade women in the industry we all now use it as a compliment.
“Yes we dress cute and work hard #queenbucklebunny,” the members said.
While the Tac House prioritizes creating Western content, their followers also love their funny videos.
“We have come to learn that our followers enjoy our skit videos making jokes about the Western lifestyle.
“The goal of our house is to entertain our viewers while also teaching them about the Western industry,” they said.
Although the house members may poke fun at each other in their videos, they are “great friends.”
“Surprisingly, coming from all different backgrounds, we all get along fantastic,” the Tac House said.
“Before moving in with each other, it was a scary thought to be living with four other influencers.
“But we are all so thankful to have become great friends and build relationships that will last a lifetime,” they added.
