Top 5 Country Videos That Crossed Over to MTV

Dressed in a velour track suit, Kid Rock was joined by Lil Wayne for a live version of his mega-crossover hit. It was a great moment, although perhaps not quite as sensational as his fight with Tommy Lee one year earlier. Though footage of this performance isn't currently available, his official 'All Summer Long' video is still memorable.

Aside from being the most successful 'American Idol' winner ever, Carrie Underwood will probably best be known for this song. MTV didn't show her much love -- she neither won an award from the network nor was asked to perform. But it was the second video to ever debut on the network's popular 'Total Request Live' ('TRL'), doing so in April 2007.

Shania Twain wasn't the first country star to cross over to pop radio, but she was amongst the first to find success on the video music channels. This is Twain's third single from the 'Come On Over' album, and she found herself nominated for a VMA in 1998.

One wonders how Johnny Cash would have reacted to being nominated for two awards at the MTV Video Music Awards. This remake of a Nine Inch Nails song was celebrated mostly after the singer's death in 2002.

Taylor Swift is the first country artist to actually win an award at the VMAs, but that was largely overshadowed by Kanye West ambushing the stage to steal the microphone and gush about Beyonce's video for 'Single Ladies.' He's still apologizing.
