Lindsey Stirling, the dubstep violinist who went from YouTube stardom to a No. 2 album on the Billboard 200 this year, has a reputation for taking violin to extreme places.

It's fiddle vs. guitar in a showdown for the ages.
"I have always loved country fiddle music so I wanted to try to combine country fiddle, with rock 'n' roll and EDM and see what happens," Stirling told BuzzFeed News in an email. "Then, as I was writing this in the studio, I immediately knew that it would be a steam-punk western throw down: me battling against an outlaw with music."
"It was one of the funnest shoots I've ever been on," Stirling said. "I love working with dancers, playing dress up is my favorite thing, and I even got to ride a horse."
