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.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
