Belmont University

Here's the deal — I love music and I love Belmont, so nothing excites me more than learning about alumni who were once in my position and have achieved what I am currently dreaming up.

1. Brad Paisley.

Okay, so we all know that Brad went to Belmont. It's hard not to know. But did you know that he came here on a full scholarship from ASCAP? I know we're all jealous.

Song you should listen to: American Saturday Night (2009)

2. Florida Georgia Line.

Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley met at Belmont. It really makes you think, what future record-breaking band is forming right now on the campus we call home? P.s. one time Florida Georgia Line landed a helicopter on the lawn.

Song you should listen to: Confession (2014)

3. Chris Young.

So what he was only here for three semesters? It still counts and it's still pretty cool.

Song you should listen to: I'm Comin' Over (2015)

4. Trisha Yearwood.

I don't know about you, but I love Trisha's Southern Kitchen on Food Network. Oh, and she's a Grammy winning recording artist? Love that too.

Song you should listen to: She's In Love With The Boy (1991)

5. Josh Turner.

Baby lock the doors and turn them lights down low... Josh actually came back to campus last week to hold chapel in the MPAC and met his wife at Belmont, so I think it's safe to say he probably enjoyed his college years.

Song you should listen to: Your Man (2006)

6. Ashley Gorley.

He's co-written thirty-two number one singles, including All American Girl by Carrie Underwood and Crash My Party by Luke Bryan. He has over three hundred songs recorded by well known artists.

Song you should listen to: You Should Be Here - Cole Swindell (2015)

7. Lee Ann Womack.

I Hope You Dance is a jam, y'all.

Song you should listen to: I Hope You Dance (2000)

8. Devin Dawson.

Devin is iHeartRadio's On The Verge Artist with his current single All One Me and I for one, am very excited about his pop into the country scene. Remember when he and fellow alumna Louisa Wendorff made a Taylor Swift https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m3o5LuFKxg mash-up and it went viral?

Song you should listen to: All On Me (2017)

AI music threatens creativity

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.
