At just 19 years old, Taylor Swift has already sold out arenas in record-time, won countless awards, scored two multi-platinum selling albums, guest-starred on a hit TV show and raked in millions of dollars in the process. Yet there is one goal Taylor has yet to attain.

"I'd like to move out of my parent's house!" she tells Glamour magazine.

But Taylor doesn't spend much time at anyone's house these days. Currently headlining her own 'Fearless' tour, the country sensation doesn't plan on resting when the tour ends in November.

Taylor Swift has prized Shania Twain as her favorite female artist and biggest influence on her career. With her energetic live shows and groundbreaking music, Shania has paved the way for crossover acts like Taylor to stand firm in country music. But what you may find surprising is that it was Shania's departure from the spotlight that has had the most impact on Swift.

"I loved watching her when she was touring and when she put out 'Come on Over,'" Taylor tells The Canadian Press, "but when I really gained respect was seeing her go away and seeing how she never left people's minds."

"If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me." --Anonymous

Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler certainly embrace that friendship philosophy. When The Boot caught up with the best buds and touring partners backstage at a concert in Columbia, Md., the two talked about each other as if they were related. Kellie, abandoned by her own mother when she was just two years old, even refers to Taylor's mom as 'Momma Swift.' She returns the favor by being the older sister Taylor never had.

We pick this talented twosome's brains about what being "BFFs" means to them.

How did you two meet?

Taylor Swift: Kellie and I met and got to know each other on the Brad Paisley tour. I was 17 and she was 20, and we were both on our first albums and one of our first tours. The way that the Paisley tour worked was that he had three opening acts, and it would alternate in rotation every night. One of us would go on first, one of us would go on last. So, one of the first things that bonded us was she got a kitten -- the cat that she has now, Pickles -- and she needed someone to look after her kitten when she would go on to play. She would leave the kitten with me or my mom. Then we started hanging out all the time, talking about boys, and just became fast friends.

Kellie Pickler: I officially adopted her as my little sister. She's so smart. She's very talented. It was really cool to be able to write together, record together and shoot a video together.

Taylor Swift was a double winner at the CMT Music Awards this week, but her performance of 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' with Def Leppard didn't win everyone over.

According to Def Leppard lead singer Joe Elliott, while the live audience seemed to enjoy the collaboration, he was puzzled by critics who described Taylor's delivery of the song's first line as "breathless."

"What a lot of people don't know is she was up for five awards," Elliott tells Rolling Stone. "And about a minute before we started that song, she had just picked up an award. So, after she accepted the award, she had to run down the stairs, run back to her dressing room and change her clothes."

Brad Paisley has three new trophies on his mantel, leading the pack in CMT Award wins Tuesday night. The country superstar took home Male Video of the Year for 'Waitin' on a Woman,' CMT Performance of the Year for 'Country Boy' (with Alan Jackson, George Strait and Dierks Bentley) and Collaborative Video of the Year for 'Start a Band' with Keith Urban.

Taylor Swift leads the ladies with two CMT wins: Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year for 'Love Story.' The 19-year-old superstar opened the show in a hilarious segment, in which she made a cameo in the 'Star Trek' movie, played with the Tennessee Titans and rapped with T-Pain. She also performed her latest hit, 'You Belong With Me,' and a duet of 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' with Def Leppard.

Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' is CMT's Video of the Year, the night's top honor at the annual CMT Awards.

"Thank you so much," Taylor gushed upon accepting the final award of the night. "I wanna thank CMT for letting me win so many of my dreams this year. I got to sing with my heroes Def Leppard. I love you guys so much!"

Taylor also expressed her appreciation for a couple of her role models. "I want to thank Shania Twain for making such theatrical videos, and I want to thank Garth Brooks for always putting his fans first. I take my cues from you. Also I want to thank my little brother Austin for agreeing to be my date tonight. And I want to thank the fans for giving me Video of the Year. My whole family is here watching. Thank you!"

Taylor Swift opened Tuesday's CMT Awards with a segment that had the audience in stitches. Watch below as she strives to make three dreams come true: acting in the 'Star Trek' movie, playing in the NFL and rapping with T-Pain.
