2010 Grammys Have Plenty Of Country Flavor

This Past week The Grammy Awards announced some of the nominees and of course as you could figure out, Taylor Swift was nominated all over the place. She has plenty of chances to win after her record smashing year of 2009.

The Fearless album was the top seller, with her solid country following and crossover popularity with the pop music crowd, has made her into a record selling and award winning machine. To be honest, Taylor has worked hard and probably deserves all of the attention she is getting, but even the country sweetheart could not have seen how far and how fast she has come in the music industry at this point in her career.

Hopefully Kayne West is nowhere to be found if and when Taylor gets on stage to except an award. She is expected to perform as well the Zac Brown Band, who has been nominated three times, and Lady Antebellum who also has been nominated in the country music category.

The 52nd GRAMMY Awards will take place live on Sunday, Jan. 31, at Staples Center in Los Angeles and will be telecast on the CBS Television Network from 8–11:30 p.m. This is billed as the biggest night in music, and has all of the top selling music artists in the industry.

Country Music Shines Through At The 2009 American Music Awards

After coming off her award as the Entertainer of the Year at the Country Music Awards, Taylor Swift has more awards to put into her trophy case after winning the top prize in the Artist of the Year category.

Taylor was also awarded the favorite female artist award for Country and Rock/Pop. The teen sensation also captured the top position for the favorite adult contemporary artist which is kind of a surprise, even though her hit single “White Horse” was a favorite among her older fans, this is usually given to the top selling performer outside of the normal pop music crowd.

Her Fearless album was voted favorite country album. Unfortunately the 19 year old country songwriter was in England getting ready for her performance at the sold out Wembley Stadium. Taylor was waiting for results of the awards show and was able to make live quick speeches as the night went along.

Keith Urban, performed his song “Kiss A Girl” and was named as the favorite male country artist, Carrie Underwood also performed her current hit “Cowboy Casanova” and was a crowd favorite.

Rascal Flatts won the favorite country band or duo award. The band thanked everyone after they took the stage for the fourth time in four years as the winner for this category.

Gloriana was named as the breakthrough artist of the year after all the critics assumed Lady Gaga would win.

This goes to show you the popularity of current group of top country artists, and the ability they have to crossover into the mainstream music award shows.

Taylor was visibly shaken and many of the attendees starting booing Kanye for his stupid behavior. Beyonce was gracious enough to have the award winner come back out and get her well deserved applause for winning the award.
