Of course you're looking forward to finding out the nominees — so are we! But before
those envelopes are opened, let's take a look back at some of the top GRAMMY nominees since "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!!" first aired in 2008.
2008: It was a big year for Lil Wayne. The
rapper topped nominations with eight for the 51st GRAMMYs (Jeff
Kravitz/FilmMagic.com)
2009: Beyoncé topped nominations with 10 for the
52nd GRAMMYs (Kevin Mazur/WireImage.com)
2010: The magic number was 10 again this year. Eminem led with 10 nominations for the 53rd GRAMMYs (Lester Cohen/WireImage.com)
2011: Kanye West topped nominations with seven for
the 54th GRAMMYs (Antonio de Moraes Barros Filho/WireImage.com)
2012: Multiple artists led the field this year. Leading nominations for the 55th GRAMMYs with six each were the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, Fun., Jay Z, Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean, and Kanye West.

Off we go to Nokia Theatre in L.A., and who’s this? Macklemore & Ryan Lewis already? Yes, and it appears they’re about to take us on a thrift-shopping spree.

by Tammy La Gorce 12/7/2013 6:00:36 AM
Earlier this year, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis told GRAMMY.com they were "going for something big" when recording The Heist.

by Crystal Larsen via YouTube 12/7/2013 6:01:04 AM
Their album “The Heist” and its hit singles could be up for a batch of nominations. Will they end up in the running for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year?

Grandpas of the world, no need to watch your backs: Macklemore’s not jacking anybody’s style. He’s truly an original. And he’s also right. Who can resist a 99-cent find?

“Thrift Shop” got a ton of attention for its anti-materialist lyrics (refreshing in the hip-hop genre?), but what about vibe those horns give off? It’s impossible not to groove in your seat a little when you hear this song.

by Tammy La Gorce 12/7/2013 6:02:26 AM
Be honest: has this song inspired your own appreciation for second-hand stores? Some thrift shops reported sales bumps among young people as a result of this tune.

Last year he was in Nashville and this year he's landed back in Cali to host the nominations concert. What's your favorite LL Cool J song?

What a way to open the show. Your thoughts, please. Is Macklemore a hipster? Or just a smart shopper? Where do you think he got that awesome fur? A thrift shop? It's true he looks incredible (damn right!).

Here he comes, our host – the ever dapper, and ever cool, LL Cool J. Like his song “Mama Said Knock You Out” (hear it? Love it like I do?), he never gets old.

The faces of the Song of the Year nominees are still pinging around in my head – who is most deserving? Any surprise omissions? – but there’s no time now for serious contemplation because here comes Taylor Swift!

by Tammy La Gorce 12/7/2013 6:06:28 AM
DID I JUST GET NOMINATED FOR SONG OF THE YEAR FOR THE GRAMMYS. DID THIS JUST HAPPEN DID THIS REAL I CANT EVEN I'M NOT EVEN

To date, Taylor Swift has earned 15 GRAMMY nominations and seven wins. Pretty
impressive for a soon-to-be 24-year-old (her birthday is Dec. 13).

Swift is Down Under, in Sydney, where she’s currently on her trailblazing “RED” tour. What an outfit: lacy and gorgeously Victorian-looking. Where is the pink-tipped hair she sported in the video?

“I Knew You Were Trouble” is the third single off “RED” and here’s a coincidence (or maybe not): The song is about red flags. Seven-time GRAMMY winner Swift knew the object of this song’s affection was trouble when he walked in, after all. Right?

Hear the dubstep in this song? As all Swifties know, Taylor is a fearless genre-hopper. The experimentation always seems to work for her, too.

The stage being set for the next performer

by Jamie Wayt 12/7/2013 6:09:19 AM
Another thing Swift is not afraid of is serious peppiness. This giant hit strays about as far from traditional country as it gets. Which song is more pop-energetic: “Trouble” or “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” another mega-hit? Which is the better song?

by Tammy La Gorce 12/7/2013 6:10:31 AM
Wardrobe change! And there's no malfunction with this one!

by Tammy La Gorce 12/7/2013 6:10:37 AM
Sydney is rocking. So are those of us in front of the TV. Which leads me to this: Where would the breakup jam be if not for the brilliance of Swift? A lot more sorrowful than it needs to be, maybe.
