Taylor Swift Tour – Concert & 2009 Tour Dates

True, there were other singers who went home with hardware from the Country Music TV Awards, but the show seemed to mostly be a factory dream that came true for Taylor Swift, country music’s teen queen. Swift, a superstar at only nineteen years old, made her debut with T-Pain as T-Swizzle in a rap clip for “Thug Story,” then sang one of her singles “You Belong With Me,” and closed the show, joining Def Leppard, a favorite band of hers, on the classic anthem “Pour Sugar on Me.”

It’s pretty clear that John Mayer has a high opinion of himself. However it turns out that he thinks highly of Taylor Swift, the teen icon as well. In March, Mayer while on Twitter, revealed that he had just finished the song “Half of My Heart,” and he was hoping it would be a duet he would sing with Swift. He likened it to Swift making a killer Stevie Nicks to his Tom Petty type of song. This was very high praise coming from Mayer.

After seeing the huge response that Taylor Swift received as the opening act at U.S. Bank Arena, you may be wondering whether it should have been her instead of Keith Urban as the headliner for the show. Swift, a nineteen year old country singer who has engineered the fast rise of her career through her autobiographical teen romance songs, had the fans screaming throughout her entire high energy, hour-long performance.
