9 MAKENZIE MEYER, SOPHOMORE, WOMEN'S BASKETBALL "My favorite genre is country. A few of my favorite artists are Jon Pardi, Kip Moore, Blake Shelton, and Jason Aldean." MATT NELSON, JUNIOR, FOOTBALL "I like county music. Eric Church and Thomas Rhett are my favorite artists, so anything sounding like them is my favorite." KELSEY O'NEILL, SENIOR, VOLLEYBALL "Mostly alternative. One of my favorite bands is Twenty One Pilots." BEN COLIN, JUNIOR, MEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING "I am open to listening to most music that is popular. If it's on the radio, I'll listen. As far as specifics, country and EDM (electronic dance music) are the two genres I listen to most. It sounds funny because they are so different. I tend to listen to one or the other depending on the day or what has been going on. As far as a favorite, Swedish House Mafia (despite the fact that they've since split up) is still my favorite group. It's dance music that is hype, but not too intense." LAUREN LEEHY, SENIOR, WOMEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING "I like to listen to pop music, but sometimes I enjoy hip hop or rap. My favorite musician is Taylor Swift because she is talented and is a great role model. She doesn't care when people hate on her, she just keeps doing her thing. I respect her for that because people often get caught up in the negative side of things, but Taylor uses it to make her music bet- ter and to inspire other people."
