With the sale of over 4 million copies of her second album Fearless, Taylor Swift was the best selling artist of 2008. Right now, she has the number #1 album on both the country and the Billboard Top 200 charts. She's a crossover sensation, even helping to save the sheet music business and, now, with appearances on Saturday Night Live, the youngest musical guest to be on the show ever, and a cameo in the Hannah Montana movie, she's poised to take over both the big and little screens.

Now word comes from Black Rock that the 19-year old superstar is scheduled to appear on CBS' hugely successful CSI in the near future.

With a fanbase that cuts across the genres and the generations, the country ingénue will certainly help turn this crime story into a love story
