Country Music star Taylor Swift recorded a version of “Tonight” from the Broadway musical, West Side Story, for MTV’s Video Music Awards.
"My version of 'Tonight' was pretty theatrical because I listened to the song and I heard the song and I'm just like, 'There's no way to do this and not play it up,'" Swift told MTV News.
Swift’s video will be combined with performances by Cobra Starship, Katy Perry, Russell Brand and Ne-Yo for the Awards ceremony on Sept. 13. The show, hosted by Russell Brand, will be broadcast from New York City.
This year, the Country star is nominated for best female video for “You Belong With Me.”
