When you think of the Country Music Television Awards, what do you think of? Some might think of Kenny Chesney bald head (link), .some might think of Toby Keith, but you should be thinking about Def Leppard.

That's right Def Leppard is country...sort of. Actually, to be honest, they are as much country as Rick Allen is a Olympic Rower, but they are still nominated for an illustrious Country Music Television Award.

Leppard's performance of "Photograph" with Taylor Swift, from "CMT Crossroads: Def Leppard and Taylor Swift"; one for "CMT Performance Of The Year" and the other for "Wide Open Country Video Of The Year." Their collaboration with Tim McGraw on "Nine Lives" also received a nomination as the "Wide Open Country Video Of The Year."

Take a look at the video of the performance here:



Doesn't it look like Def Leppard phoned this performance in? Everything looked uninspired. No joke, I was playing this clip and my cat came up to me and bit my hand repeatedly every time Taylor Swift sang.
