Taylor Swift's Early Collaboration with Def Leppard: A Musical Connection from the Womb

Before becoming a global pop star, Taylor Swift collaborated with rock band Def Leppard on the TV show Crossroads in 2008. Swift, who grew up listening to Def Leppard due to her mother's fandom, expressed her desire to collaborate with the band. They performed together on 11 songs, including a duet on Def Leppard's "Photograph." The collaboration was a success, exposing Swift to a new audience and expanding Def Leppard's fanbase. They later reunited to perform at the 2009 CMT Music Awards.
