Las Vegas will play host to an eclectic list of artists, including country music's own Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean and Brad Paisley, for the second annual iHeartRadio Music Festival, set for Sept. 21-22, with shows at 7:30 PM both nights.

The country artists join an all-star cast for the two-day event, including Green Day, Pink, No Doubt, Rihanna, Pitbull and Aerosmith. Taylor made sure she carved out time in her schedule to head to Sin City for the festival this year.

"Unfortunately last year I couldn't be a part of the iHeartRadio Music Festival because I was on tour," Taylor explains. "It was one of those things where I saw everyone tweeting about it, everyone talking about streaming it live on the Internet, just how exciting and amazing it was. I thought, next year I'm saving the date. I'm making sure I'm there. Because, the idea that you can bring so many formats and genres together, and have everyone appreciating it. It highlights the differences between different musical acts, and makes it a cool thing."

Last year's inaugural iHeartRadio Music Festival featured performances from Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney and Rascal Flatts.

All of the performances at this year's event will be streamed live at iHeart.com. Tickets for the festival, which will be held at the MGM Grand Hotel, go on sale on July 14 and can be purchased here.

Appropriately, when it comes to blending and crossing genres, Taylor is the best example today. I love the 'Wide open Country' half-hour on CMT where groups like Trampled By Turtles first appeared, and that's the future, a place where creative songwriters thrive and can make their own places in music. Now if hip-hop would just go extinct everything would be sweeeeet!

Its going to be a great show! I was hoping for Blake too but Miranda is always great. Taylor has gotten much better too. I like that song she has with the Civil Wars.
