Taylor Swift wasn’t exactly on her game when performing an offkey disaster with Stevie Nicks at the 2010 Grammys, but it didn’t seem to matter as she went home with the coveted Album of the Year honors for ‘Fearless.’ At the ripe old age of 20, she becomes the youngest artist to win the award, and the best part is she didn’t have to contend with Kanye West storming the stage to put his two cents in. Taylor took home three Grammys before the night was finished.

Beyonce also took the ceremony hostage as she took home 6 Grammy Awards which was a record by a woman artist. Among her accolades were best female pop vocal performance and song of the year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”

Lady Gaga opened the evening in style with a theatrical performance of her hit single “Poker Face” and was joined by Sir Elton John. Other performances during the evening failed to live up to bar Gaga set. Pink had an ill-advised stripper-meets-Cirque du Soleil moment. Eminem, Lil Wayne and Drake kept the CBS editors working overtime to screen out of overflow of obscenity.

Other notable winners included Zac Brown Band as best new artist and Kings of Leon for Record of the Year for “Use Somebody,” a big upset considering their competition — Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga. Lionel Richie presented a lifetime achievement award for Michael Jackson to his children yet no apology for the lackluster tribute performance by the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Usher and Carrie Underwood.

On Tuesday, it was announced that among the super stars set to perform in Los Angeles at the Grammy Awards on January 31 are Taylor Swift, Beyonce and the Black Eyed Peas.

An inside source revealed to People Magazine on Tuesday that Swift, the country cutie, will be a presenter for the show. Beyonce is the leading nominee with 10 nominations and Swift is second with eight.

Fellow nominees Maxwell (six nominations) and Lady Antebellum (two nominations) will also be performing on the CBS live telecast. Other entertainers will be named later.

Beyonce this year, who has already won 10 Grammy awards, has been nominated for Song of the Year with “Single Ladies,” Album of the Year for “I Am Sasha Fierce,” and Record of the Year for “Halo.”

The nominations for Swift include Song of the Year as well as Record of the Year for “You Belong With Me,” and her “Fearless” has been nominated for Album of the Year.

The Black Eyed Peas, triple Grammy Award winners, have been nominated for six awards. “The E.N.D.” has been nominated for Album of the Year and “I Gotta Feeling,” for Record of the Year.

Kayne West, the “rival” of Swift at the MTV Video Awards, has six nominations as well, setting up another showdown between West and Swift, if West actually shows up.

This year’s nominees for MTV’s Video Music Awards are in. Leading the pack are Beyonce and Justin Timberlake, with seven nominations each.

Following them are Rihanna and Kanye West, who each received five nominations. Amy Winehouse got three nods.

In the category Video of the Year “What Goes Around … Comes Around” by Timberlake will be facing off with “Irreplaceable” by Beyonce, “Stronger” by West, “Umbrella” by Rihanna, “Rehab” by Winehouse and “D.A.N.C.E.” by Justice, the French electro duo. MTV characterized Justice as being probably the biggest shock from the whole field of nominees.

Timberlake also received nominations in three new categories: Quadruple Threat of the Year, awarded to those excelling in multiple fields, Most Earthshattering Collaboration (Timberlake’s collaboration with Timbaland on “SexyBack”) and Male Artist of the Year.

Also benefiting from the new categories was Beyonce. She landed nominations for Quadruple Threat, Earthshattering Collaboration ( for her collaboration with Shakira on “Beautiful Liar”) and Female Artist of the Year.

The other nominees in the category of Male Artist are Robin Thicke, T.I., Akon and West. Other Female Artist of the Year include Nelly Furtado, Fergie, Rihanna and Winehouse.

“Back to Black,” the second set from Winehouse, was the first release in the U.S. for the singer. She has been nominated for Best New Artist along with John, Peter Bjorn, Lily Allen, Gym Class Heroes and Carrie Underwood. Fans will determine the winner of this category. Favorites can be voted on at MTV’s website.

Competing in the category Best Group are Gym Class Heroes along with White Stripes, Maroon 5, Linkin Park and Fall Out Boy.

MTV’s website includes the entire list of nominees.

Beyonce, Josh Groban, Counting Crows and the American Boys Choir will all be performing at the 77th Academy Awards to present the nominees for Best Theme Song, or as lengthily put by the award giving body, Achievement in Music for Motion Pictures (Original Song).

Beyonce will be singing three of the nominated soundtracks while sharing the stage with Josh Groban as they perform ‘Believe’, the theme from the Tom Hanks-voiced animated feature, The Polar Express. She will also be joined by the American Boys Choir in a symphonic rendition of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s ‘Learn to be Lonely’, from the film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera and ‘Look to Your Path’, the theme from the movie The Chorus.

Counting Crows will be performing their own hit ‘Accidentally in Love’ which was also used as a soundtrack to the Oscar nominated Shrek 2, as well as the theme from The Motorcycle Diaries, ‘Al Otro Lado del Rio’ by Jorge Drexler.

Catch the 77th Academy Awards, broadcasted live from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on February 27, Sunday, at 8 PM EST via ABC.
