June 17 2009, Published 9:54 a.m. ET
From the opening moments to the closing number, it was undeniably Taylor Swift's night at the Country Music Television Awards in Nashville on Tuesday night.
The 19-year-old not only performed two huge numbers during the live ceremony, her clip for "Love Story" won in both the Female Video and Video of the Year categories. The video's director, Trey Fanjoy, also won for Video Director of the Year.
"This is for everybody who still believes in love stories, because I do!" Taylor told the audience when accept her first trophy of the night.
The night began with Taylor performing "You Belong With Me," in an elaborate production number that saw the singer evolve on-stage from daydreaming hopeful to full-fledged superstar.
And to wrap up the evening, a black-clad, headbanging Taylor was joined by British rock legends Def Leppard to sing their arena-rock classic "Pour Some Sugar On Me."
