Beyonce and Taylor Swift Lead the 2010 Grammy Nominations!
Beyonce has been nominated for ten Grammy awards, and Taylor Swift has been nominated for eight for the 52nd annual ceremony. The nominations were announced at a concert last night where Black Eyed Peas and Nick Jonas & the Administration performed, while Katy Perry, LL Cool J, Ringo Starr, Smokey Robinson and others announced the acts that have been honoured with a nomination.
