All I can say is WOW.

Yep. She's pretty much gorgeous. Yeah, I know, she is probably still in High School but you cannot deny it.

That was originally on several weeks ago I think. It's not bad at all but I am not much of a fan of Taylor and this is coming from someone that likes country music. CMT has a lot of good Crossroads and Cross Country shows. Some of the past ones: CMT.com : Shows : CMT Crossroads : All Episodes and CMT.com : Shows : CMT Cross Country : All Episodes

The most impressive thing about Swift is that she sold tons of records on songs that she wrote when she was 12-15. Well, that and she is pretty good looking...

I haven't been crazy about either group - but the combo kicks ***

See, I'm just the opposite- I generally can't stand country music, but I like Taylor Swift's music pretty well. I actually like it even better with a male vocalist helping her instead of herself or another female.

This is first time I've ever seen her before: she's drop-dead gorgeous!

I think last year was her senior year actually so she is just out of school I think. The 1 problem I have with her music is that some of them are kinda "cute" songs that you'd expect from someone still a teenager. She is very talented I'll give her that but I think if she wants to have any staying power and future success in the industry that soon she is going to have to start singing some more mature sounding material.

I think she will mature, especially being that she is still releasing songs she wrote years ago... She has probably had to mature alot in the last couple of years and no doubt that will come out in her music...

Bon Jovi and Sugarland wasn't a bad episode either. Los Lonely Boys and Ronny Milsap is one I really liked, Kid Rock and Hank Williams Jr., Lynard Skynard and Montgomery Gentry and Brad Paisley with John Mayer were all pretty good too.

Probably one of my favorite Cross Country performances:

Cross country is a little different, they pair older and newer country artists up, crossroads pairs non-country and country artists.

Pat Benatar and Martina McBride were good also.

The Crossroads with Lindsay Buckingham and Little Big Town was really good. Get those five voices together and it sounds just like Fleetwood Mac.

My 4 y.o. daughter loves Taylor Swift, so I have the Def Leppard Crossroads episode DVR'd and get to watch it again and again and again . . .

Yeah that wasn't bad but I wish they had teamed that group up with someone else. I'd kinda like to seem them do a Cross Country with another group like The Oak Ridge Boys or Statler Brothers where they have 4 part harmony songs they could do of each other.
