12 Songs That Will Make You Like Country Music

Just give it a chance.

12 Songs That Will Make You Like Country Music
TBN

Country music gets a bad rep. It's rumored to be all about pick-up trucks, cheating ex-boyfriends (or girlfriends), and dirt roads. However, those of you dislike country music probably have yet to realize that a fair amount of Carrie Underwood songs are actually about murder.

Yep. So technically, if you're a Law & Order fan, there's no reason why you shouldn't like country music as well (just go with me here). Sure, there are some classic country songs about love and road trips and all that jazz, but there's also many songs in country music that are all about revenge (which is probably why I like country so much). Here are 12 songs that will show you what country music is really about and will convince you to give country artists a chance:

1. Two Black Cadillacs -- Carrie Underwood

There's no way I could talk about country music without mentioning this song. It tells the story of a wife and mistress who team up to kill the cheating husband.

2. Mama's Broken Heart -- Miranda Lambert

Another cheating boyfriend, another classic song.

3. Even If It Breaks Your Heart -- Eli Young Band

It's a song that's about hope and inspiration, not revenge or murder...Wow!

4. Picture To Burn -- Taylor Swift

Yeah, we're back to revenge. Also, those of you who haven't listened to Taylor Swift's first album are missing out.

5. Fancy -- Reba McEntire

I can't talk about country music without mentioning the classics.

6. Stupid -- Kacey Musgraves

It's 3 minutes of Kacey Musgraves singing about how stupid love is. Country music tells it like it is.

7. Before He Cheats -- Carrie Underwood

Possibly the most famous (or infamous?) country song. What better way to get revenge than ruining someone's car?

8. Better Man -- Little Big Town

This recent hit was penned by Taylor Swift and given to the band "Little Big Town." It's a brutally honest song that tells the story of the guy she could have stayed with if he was a better person.

9. Colder Weather -- Zac Brown Band

Country music has no problem calling people out, especially those who can't keep their promises.

10. Chocotaw Country Affair -- Carrie Underwood

In this song, a married couple goes on trial for murder and refuses to give each other up. It's like a "Law and Order" episode told in four minutes.

11. Blue Ain't Your Color -- Keith Urban

Another semi-optimistic song.

12. I'd Lie -- Taylor Swift

This unreleased song is old country T-Swift and probably one of her best.

Go fourth and find your inner Southerner, y'all! *cringes*

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
