I am a HUGE Taylor Swift fan. In fact I listen to her Fearless cd so much, that my three-year-old son can sing along to pretty much all of her songs. It’s actually really cute.

Thanks to Band Hero, the newest release from the makers of Guitar Hero, my family and I can rock on stage like Taylor Swift as we play and sing along to over 60 chart-topping hits from pop and rock’s hottest stars.

Here is a sampling of Band Hero’s set list:

• 3 Doors Down – “When I’m Gone”
• The All American Rejects – “Dirty Little Secret”
• Ben Harper And The Innocent Criminals “Steal My Kisses”
• Evanescence – “Bring Me To Life”
• Finger Eleven – “Paralyzer”
• KT Tunstall – “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree”
• No Doubt – “Don’t Speak”

Since I am such a Taylor Swift fan, I really enjoyed this behind the scenes sneak peek.

Swift isn’t the only in-game artist in Band Hero. Players can also choose to play as Adam Levine and rock out to the Grammy nominated “She Will Be Loved,” Maroon 5′s hit single from their debut album Songs About Jane.
