CMT CROSSROADS: TAYLOR SWIFT & DEF LEPPARD


Taylor Swift (cute as a button) performing with the aging British heavy metal band, Def Leppard, has to be the most unlikely musical pairing since k. d. lang and Tony Bennett. From the opening power chords of “Photograph” (one of the great heavy metal anthems of all time) to the acoustic “Two Steps Behind” I found plenty to like on this DVD. Some people find Taylor Swift too overbearing, but I like her. She’s got Talent. I’ve always been a fan of Def Leppard. But it is a bit disconcerting to see 18-year-old Taylor Swift singing “Pour Some Sugar On Me” with guys in their 50s. If you’re interested in acquiring this DVD, be warned: it’s only being sold at Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club. GRADE: B+
