15 Songs That Are So Much Better As Covers Performed By Country Artists
Live Nation

There is something about the voices of country boys — I'm unsure if it's their cowboy boots or way to swoon you with their southern accents but they are magical. Even if country music is not your cup of tea, traditional songs sang by popular country stars strike a match in everyone's heart.

Here's 15 songs that are so much better when covered with some country flair:

15. "Love Yourself" - Thomas Rhett (Justin Bieber)


Thomas Rhett's voice is just so soothing and sexy at the same time, it's amazing.

14. "Closer" - Dylan Scott (Chainsmokers)


The radio totally ruined this song but Dylan Scott was sure to come to the rescue.

13. "Want to Want Me" - Luke Bryan with Jason DeRulo (Jason DeRulo)

Obviously, we all know how quickly this blew up that it was performed at the CMT's but every time Luke sings "uh" my heart drops.

12. "Everybody" - Florida Georgia Line (Backstreet Boys)

Ladies, talk about ripping our hearts out, am I right? Ugh. Too good.

11. "Hold On, We're Going Home" - Dustin Lynch (Drake)

Some country flair on this Drake favorite makes me feel some kind of way...

10. "If I Were A Boy" - Reba McEntire (Beyoncé)

Reba has an iconic voice so mixed it with some Beyoncé beats — yeah, it's game-changing.

9. "Landslide" Dixie Chicks (Fleetwood Mac)

Bet you didn't even know the Dixie Chicks did not originally sing this song because they made it that much better.

8. "Royals" Craig Campbell (Lorde)

"We crave a different kind of buzz" and cue me melting when he sings these words

7. "You and I" Miranda Lambert (Lady Gaga)

Although the audio is not the best, changing the words out for her cool Kentucky guy just makes the words that much sweeter.

6. "Love Yourself" Dylan Scott (Justin Bieber)

Who would have thought so many people would have covered this song? "Oh baby you should go and love yourself" no thanks Dylan, I'll stick to loving you.

5. "Born This Way" Little Big Town (Lady Gaga)

I truly never understood the concept of following the banjos home until I heard Little Big Town play.

4. "Wagon Wheel" Darius Rucker (Ketch Secor)

I honestly did not know Darius Rucker himself did not come up with this song, and I'm assuming the same for you.

3. "Let Me Love You" Chris Lane (DJ Snake)

"You should let me love you?" Say no more, Chris.

2. "God Gave Me You" Blake Shelton (Dave Barnes)

Blake Shelton has the voice of an angel.

1. "Ride" Chase Rice (Ciara)

The feels on this song are ridiculous, you are all welcome for introducing this into your life.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
