Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift will go head to head at this year's CMT Awards, as the two ladies have earned five nominations apiece. They'll battle it out for Video of the Year along with Female Video of the Year, and it should be interesting to see if Swift will repeat the success she had in 2009, when she walked home with both of those major awards.

Underwood is also nominated for CMT Performance of the Year, and two of her videos ("Cowboy Cassanova" and "Temporary Home") are nominated for Director of the Year. Swift is nominated for Collaborative Video of the Year, and two of her videos ("You Belong With Me" and "Fifteen") are nominated for Director of the Year as well.

But will Taylor nail her live performance? We know Carrie can!
