Taylor Swift Does CSI, ACM and CRS
Taylor Swift is everywhere these days, and tonight (3/5) at 8:00 CT, she’ll be appearing on one of her favorite TV shows, CBS network’s popular CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Swift plays the part of troubled teen Haley Jones in an episode entitled “Turn, Turn, Turn.” A preview of the show can be viewed at www.cbs.com/primtime/csi. Entertainment Tonight will also air an interview tonight with Swift talking about her CSI acting experience.
In additional Swift news, the singer/songwriter’s chart-topping sophomore album, Fearless, picked up an Album of the Year nomination today from the Academy of Country Music. Joining the singer with ACM top album nominations are George Strait, Jamey Johnson, Carrie Underwood and Montgomery Gentry.
As if that weren’t enough … Swift has been named headliner and host of the Academy of Country Music-sponsored Music City Jam at next year’s Country Radio Seminar. The event, which is entering its sixth year, has become a centerpiece of CRS, and Swift succeeds a superstar list of hosts including Keith Urban (2006), Toby Keith (2007), Brad Paisley (2008), and Tim McGraw, who ably hosted CRS-40’s Music City Jam last night.
