Rehearsing for their performance at the 2009 CMT Music Awards, Taylor Swift and T-Pain opt to look like gangsters.

Young country singer Taylor Swift was photographed wearing a white t-shirt matched with army trousers and a funky cap when she rehearsed for her performance at the 2009 CMT Music Awards. Also joining her was rapper T-Pain, who wore a white t-shirt paired with jeans, big sunglasses, and a big chain. The rehearsal was done at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday, June 9.

During the rehearsal, Taylor and T-Pain were also seen posing in a basement of the building. Both of them are scheduled to perform together during the annual event, which will be broadcast on Tuesday, June 16 at 8 P.M. ET/ PT.

Expressing her excitement to work together with the rapper, Taylor wrote on her Twitter page, "If I said I was in the studio with T-Pain, would you believe me?". Just few days before it, the 19-year-old songstress dished on her willingness to duet with rapper Lil Wayne, saying "YES!! That would be awesome [to collaborate with rapper Lil Wayne]. I would want to sing one of his hooks. Yeah, that'd be awesome."
