Def Leppard and Taylor Swift Collaborated on TV and Stage
Def Leppard and Taylor Swift teamed up for a CMT Crossroads show in 2008 and reunited at the 2009 CMT Music Awards.
In 2008, Def Leppard was on tour to support their album titled Songs From The Sparkle Lounge. During the course of this tour, the band participated in Crossroads, an American television program aired on the CMT channel. Crossroads was a TV show format that brought country music stars together with artists who performed in different genres.
Def Leppard's collaboration on Crossroads was with Taylor Swift. Swift had previously released her self-titled debut album in 2006. That debut record reached the number one spot on the Country Charts and climbed to number five on the main Billboard chart.
The Crossroads performance featuring Def Leppard and Taylor Swift was recorded in early October 2008. The recording took place over two separate shows at the Acuff Theater located in Nashville. The initial broadcasts of this TV program reached 4.5 million viewers, achieving great success.
The following year, Def Leppard and Taylor Swift reunited after their joint television collaboration. The artists came together once again at the 2009 CMT Music Awards, where they performed the song Pour Some Sugar On Me during the closing of the award ceremony.
