This pairing of modern country mega-stars could be a case of the opening act eclipsing the headliner. True, Aussie Keith Urban has sold tens of millions of albums, racked up 10 country No. 1s, and earned multiple Grammys since his solo debut in 1999. But in 2008, Taylor Swift quite simply exploded into the biggest thing in country - she was the biggest-selling artist in the States last year, and in February her single "Love Story" became the first country song to top the pop Top 40 chart and turned into the music track with the most paid downloads in history. But don't feel down for Urban - over the last decade, he has become one of the most durable, dependable forces in country music. Plus he gets to go home to Nicole Kidman.
