Even though Big New Music Weekend turned out to be a success, CMT still felt a little guilty for leaving all you Taylor Swift fans out to dry. So, in order to make up for it, we have decided to dedicate an entire weekend to Taylor.
It all kicks off tomorrow (Oct. 9) when we world premiere her new video for the fourth single off her Fearless album, “Fifteen,” at 7 a.m. ET on CMT.com. The video will then exclusively premiere on CMT at 8 a.m. ET in the 90-minute special, CMT Fifteen Swiftly-Made Videos. The special includes a chronological look back at Swift’s entire music video catalog, as well as live performances from Studio 330 Sessions and CMT Crossroads: Def Leppard and Taylor Swift and concludes with the world premiere of “Fifteen.”
But wait, there’s more! In addition to the CMT Swiftly-Made Videos, we’re also debuting a 15-minute special tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. ET called Taylor Swift-Fifteen. It includes exclusive interview footage with Swift, an announcement concerning her tour, details on how to win a chance to see the country star live in concert and, of course, the new video. The special will also be available on CMT.com, CMT Mobile and CMT Pure, the network’s 24-hour music channel.
Both specials will run throughout the weekend on CMT, so if you miss them the first time around, there will plenty of chances to get your Taylor fix. Go to CMT.com/shows or check your local listings for show times.
