grammy nominations 2010

Both Beyonce and Taylor Swift top the list with the most Grammy nominations for the 2010 awards show set to air on January 31st, 2010. The two artists are once again linked--it was Beyonce who gave Taylor an opportunity to return to the stage and give her acceptance speech after Kanye West took the microphone from her hand at the MTV VMAs.

Beyonce garnered 10 Grammy nominations, followed by Taylor Swift's eight. The Black Eyed Peas, Maxwell, and Kanye West all attained six nominations, though West's nods were for collaborations with other artists. The category of Album of the Year finds Beyonce's "I Am…Sasha Fierce" and The Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D." competing with Lady Gaga's "The Fame," The Dave Matthews Band's "Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King," and Taylor Swift's "Fearless."
