Moving to Nashville with dreams of stardom is a common story. The city is a beacon for young talent hoping to make it big, and for a rare few, those dreams become reality. At just 23-years-old, Brooke Barry is one of those rare dreamers whose hard work and creative spirit have brought her success—without any signs of slowing down.
Barry is a full-time lifestyle content creator with a following of over 3.5 million across Instagram and TikTok. And now, she’s expanding her influence into the fashion world with her debut collection set to launch in Spring/Summer 2026.
Starting her TikTok account at age 15, Barry made lip-syncing videos to her favorite songs and shows. As luck would have it, one of her videos was picked up for ads across social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Snapchat. By age 18, she took a leap of faith, moving to Nashville to pursue music. But along the way, she discovered a passion for stagewear and fashion design, which has become a central part of her creative journey. Today, Barry proudly calls herself both a content creator and a fashion designer.
“I love having a platform to share my creativity with the world,” Barry says. “One of the most rewarding parts of my job is hearing from young girls and boys who tell me I inspired them to ask for a sewing machine or start creating with the one their grandmother gave them. It’s these messages that motivate me to keep sharing and inspiring others.”
Of course, sharing so much online has its challenges. Barry knows firsthand how public opinion can be difficult to navigate. “Before I focused on sewing and fashion, I shared a lot of content with my husband," she says. "We met when I was 18, got engaged six months later, and married at 20 because we just knew it was meant to be. Not everyone online agreed, and we faced criticism, but we’ve been happily married for three years now.”
Barry's story is a testament to dreaming big and staying true to yourself. She’s proof of what can happen when you give your dreams a shot. @brookiebarry
Brooke Barry's Tips For Holiday Hosting:
“I was raised by a true Southern woman, so hosting is in my blood. For my Christmas parties, the tablescape is a must-have. It’s the room’s centerpiece and the first thing people notice when they walk in. I love decorating mine with thrifted antique candlesticks and adding personal touches like custom name cards. Another often overlooked essential is a backup dress. Every year, someone—myself included—ends up with a spill, so having an emergency outfit ready is a lifesaver!”
