11/5/2007 Stephen L. Betts Taylor Swift gave Rodney Atkins a bit of a shock during their Friday night (11/2) show in San Antonio on Brad Paisley's Bonfires & Amplifiers tour. Taylor and her friend Emily decided to dress as devils to surprise Rodney onstage while he was singing “If You're Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows).” Taylor's band got word of the prank and got in on the act as well. In a recent blog entry, Taylor writes: “How everyone in my band ended up onstage in the most freak-show-esque costumes I've ever seen, I don't know. But it happened. All the guys dressed up as women. Big women. We had all these blow up inflatable costumes in our tour bus, and everyone dressed up. They all looked like huge balloon people. And the look on Rodney's face was priceless.” Taylor and Rodney, who are both nominated for this year’s Horizon Award are both scheduled to perform on the Country Music Association Awards telecast, Wednesday night (11/7) on ABC-TV. Taylor hints that the color of the dress she’ll be wearing on the red carpet at the awards show is a color she hasn’t worn while walking the red carpet before. She adds only that the dress “makes her smile.” No matter what she’s wearing, we’re sure she’s going to look great – and hopefully she’ll behave herself!
