Country music sweetheart Taylor Swift is living the dream, literally. It has been announced that the 18-year old country star will team up with 80s rock and roll legends Def Leppard on the CMT's hit show Crossroads. The event will air later this year on the cable network on November 7.

During the taping of the show Taylor told the crowd after performing Def Leppard's huge hit "Photograph", "This is my childhood dream come true, I'm freaking out that that just happened!"

Not one to usually hide her emotions, Swift explains her excitement to People magazine about performing with the band she says she listened to while in the womb. "My mom was a huge fan of theirs when she was pregnant with me," Swift says. "So growing up, the music that was playing in my house was Def Leppard. It was music that she liked that I could like too."

Def Leppard, based out of Sheffield, England, were approached last year by Swift to appear on the popular series, and the band admits at first they had no idea who the young star was. The band says they put her in a search engine and were shocked when they learned how young she was.
