Taylor Swift Rap Thug Story Ft. T-pain T Swift Rap Video

Congrats to Taylor Swift for her “Love Story” win for video of the year.

Country Music Television awards with a skit about living out her dreams. The 19-year-old country and pop sensation went a long way toward doing just that by winning video of the year and female video of the year for “Love Story” and by performing with one of her favorite rock bands.

“I want to thank Shania Twain for always making such theatrical videos, and Garth Brooks for always putting the fans first. I take my cues from you,” Swift said Tuesday in accepting video of the year honors at Nashville’s Sommet Center.

“I thank the fans for giving me video of the year when my whole family is here watching.”

Swift won the fan-voted award over Brad Paisley’s “Waitin’ on a Woman,” Trace Adkins‘ “You’re Gonna Miss This,” Carrie Underwood’s “Just a Dream” and Sugarland’s “All I Want to Do.”

Her “Love Story” video is an elaborate production with period costumes that echoes the story of Romeo and Juliet.

“This is for everybody who still believes in love stories, because I do,” Swift said earlier in winning female video.  [YAHOO]
