Taylor Swift, Beyonce Black Eyed Peas and More Rack Up Grammy Noms

The nominees were announced during a concert at L.A.'s Nokia Live that included Maxwell paying tribute to Michael Jackson with "The Lady in My Life," and the first-ever TV performance of Nick Jonas and the Administration.

Announcers taking the stage included Katy Perry, Ringo Starr, Smokey Robinson, Dwight Yoakam, T-Pain, Linkin Park, and George Lopez. Even the Grammys weren't immune to the news of the day, with Lopez cracking  a joke about Tiger Woods, attributing a Kings of Leon song to the golfer when announcing the Song of the Year category. Lopez jested that "Use Somebody" was "by Tiger Woods." Meanwhile, Robinson also jested, saying after announcing that Taylor Swift was nominated for Record of the Year: "Don't worry Taylor, Kanye West is not here."
