According to researchers, country songs can boost confidence and improve body image. The study analyzed data from over a thousand fans and more than 2,500 Spotify playlists using terms like "confidence" and "body positivity." Carrie Underwood emerged as the top country artist for making listeners feel more body-positive, followed by Shania Twain and Luke Combs. Miranda Lambert and Toby Keith also made the list. With only 27% of Americans having a positive body image, researchers suggest curating a country playlist to test the theory for oneself.
