Beyonce And Taylor Swift Lead The Way With Grammy Nominations
Posted on Thu Dec 3rd, 2009 7:50am PDT By X17 Staff
The nominees for the 52nd annual Grammy awards were announced at Club Nokia in Los Angeles last night, and Beyonce led the pack with ten, followed by country star Taylor Swift who earned eight nods, including Song and Album Of The Year.
Hmm, that's a lot of Grammy noms for a 19-year-old! I know she's talented and adorable, but is it a bit too soon to be getting that kind of recognition for her music? And what does Kanye think about this? Seeing as he snagged six nominations, maybe he'll have something to say when the show airs on January 31, 2010.
Lady GaGa walked away with five nominations, and if you want to see the rest of the nominees, click after the jump!
