CMT Award Winners

Taylor Swift leads the ladies with two CMT wins: Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year for 'Love Story.' The 19-year-old superstar opened the show in a hilarious segment, in which she made a cameo in the 'Star Trek' movie, played with the Tennessee Titans and rapped with T-Pain. She also performed her latest hit, 'You Belong With Me,' and a duet of 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' with Def Leppard.
