NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) _ Taylor Swift wasn't even born when Def Leppard rocked the charts in 1983 with their album ``Pyromania.'' And she was still a nonentity when the band again stormed the charts with ``Hysteria'' in 1987. But Def Leppard's still her all-time favorite rock band and now the two will come together for a new episode of ``CMT Crossroads,'' airing November 8th. The group will film the show in October. Taylor calls the pairing a ``dream come true.'' She says, ``Every time I've seen Crossroads on CMT I've always thought, 'If I ever get to do one of those, it HAS to be with Def Leppard!''' She says she's been screaming the words to Def Leppard songs for years. Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott says it's cool that country's hottest young star wants to work with them.
