The taping happened at The Acuff Theatre in Nashville, TN with 11 songs performed before a sell out crowd. The appearance on the iconic CMT show had been long rumoured and was announced in July 2008. Def Leppard met up with Taylor\u2019s band in August to rehearse for the show and they immediately hit it off. The unlikely pairing worked well and the crowd loved every moment of the show. Fans elsewhere got their first taste of the performance when \u201cPhotograph\u201d was premiered online by <em>CMT<\/em> on 23rd October 2008.\n<br><br>\nFive of Def Leppard\u2019s biggest hits were performed during the show starting off with \u201cPhotograph\u201d and including Taylor\u2019s favourite tune \u201cWhen Love & Hate Collide\u201d. The show is notable as having the only live performance ever of \u201cLove\u201d from their 2008 album <em>Songs From The Sparkle Lounge<\/em>.\u00a0 Additionally, five of Taylor\u2019s songs were played.

The episode features performances by Taylor and English hard rock band Def Leppard. It aired on November 7, 2008. Table of Contents Production Taylor and Def Leppard filmed their appearance on CMT Crossroads on October 6, 2008. The taping happened at The Acuff Theatre in Nashville, TN with 11 songs performed before a sell out crowd. The appearance on the iconic CMT show had been long rumoured and was announced in July 2008. Def Leppard met up with Taylor\u2019s band in August to rehearse for the show and they immediately hit it off. The unlikely pairing worked well and the crowd loved every moment of the show. Fans elsewhere got their first taste of the performance when \u201cPhotograph\u201d was premiered online by CMT on 23rd October 2008. Five of Def Leppard\u2019s biggest hits were performed during the show starting off with \u201cPhotograph\u201d and including Taylor\u2019s favourite tune \u201cWhen Love &#038; Hate Collide\u201d. The show is notable as having the only live performance ever of \u201cLove\u201d from their 2008 album Songs From The Sparkle Lounge.\u00a0 Additionally, five of Taylor\u2019s songs were played. Four singles from her debut album, Taylor Swift (2006), \u201cOur Song\u201c, Picture to Burn\u201c, \u201cTeardrops On My Guitar\u201d and \u201cShould\u2019ve Said No\u201c, as well as her then newly released smash hit \u201cLove Story\u201c. Background and Release CMT Crossroads is an American television program broadcast on CMT that pairs country music artists with musicians from other music genres, frequently trading off performing one another\u2019s songs, and also dueting on some numbers.\u00a0 Taylor had wanted to perform with Def Leppard on the show and contacted Rick Allen via her then tour manager, Rick\u2019s older brother Robert Allen. Her e-mail to introduce herself didn\u2019t pan out. However, when she mentioned her aspirations in an online interview, the band\u2019s tour accountant brought it to their attention: \u00abI\u2019ve wanted to do Crossroads with Def Leppard since I heard about Crossroads. I always thought, \u2018That would be so fun to get these crazy British guys with these awesome songs and they\u2019re rock stars and my band would freak out.\u2019 It never occurred to me that we\u2019d actually get to do it.\u00bb Taylor Swift After the rest of the band had learned of Taylor\u2019s wish to collaborate on the show it eventually happened almost a year later. Robert Allen later took over as the head of Taylor\u2019s company 13 Management. He had started out as Def Leppard\u2019s road manager but left them after the end of the Pyromania tour: \u00abWe said, \u2018Who is it?\u2019 Because, of course, we didn\u2019t know. There\u2019s always a first day when you discover a band, whether it\u2019s The Beatles or Taylor Swift. You hear the name for the first time, and then you go and check it out. We googled her, iTune\u2019d her, listened to it all and said, \u2018Well\u2026wow!\u2019 Look at how many records she\u2019d been selling and look how young and pretty she is and how exciting it is to be at that point of a career. Because we were there once a long time ago before (she was) born. Of course, the first thing we did \u2013 15, 20 minutes later \u2013 was try to get a hold of her. \u2018Let\u2019s see if we can actually get this going.\u2019 It took a year, but you know, here we are.\u00bb Joe Elliott The performance made its television premiere on November 7, 2008, and was released on June 16, 2009 via DVD exclusively to US Walmart stores by Big Machine Records.
