Lorde is certainly one of the breakout stars, if not the breakout star, of the year, with her song 'Royals' establishing her as an artist to watch now and for many years to come. She performed the song at the 2014 'The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!!' tonight (Dec. 6), and it once again furthered the singer's mystique.

Katy Perry "roared" from Toronto, Canada to be a part of the 'The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!!' (Dec. 6), which announced the 2014 Grammy nominees live from Los Angeles.

Taylor Swift may be Down Under, on tour in Australia, but the singer beamed in and performed her smash hit 'I Knew You Were Trouble' at 'The Grammy Nominations Concert - Live!!' which aired tonight (Dec. 6) and took place in Los Angeles.

It was a big year for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, so it made sense for the duo to open this year's 'The Grammy Nominations Live!!' concert with their breakthrough hit 'Thrift Shop.'

The Grammys are right around the corner – well, they're a few months away, set for Jan. 26 —and to get fans and viewers stoked, the annual 'The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! – Countdown to Music's Biggest Night' will take place at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on Friday, Dec. 6.

Is a cameo on 'Girls' inches away from Taylor Swift's schedule and her resume? It very well may be, since the 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' songstress was cozying up to writer and series star Lena Dunham at a Grammy party on Feb. 10. Dunham could easily write a role for her new BFF into the show, since she's the boss, right?

Well this should be cause for concern among celebs about the security at the Grammys. A would-be speech crasher with a history of bugging celebs at high-profile events was about to swoop in and annoy Adele as she accepted her Grammy for Best Solo Pop Performance on Sunday night (Feb. 10) when Jennifer Lopez swooped in and saved the day with quick flick of her sunkissed wrist.

Instead of doing boring stuff like being in school and learning their ABCs, those precocious British princesses Sophia Grace and Rosie, the latter of which has grown out of her shell and piped up, served as the red carpet correspondents for 'Ellen' at the 2013 Grammys.

No event can be declared a success unless it is immediately followed by the mass production of memes and GIFs regarding said event. The Grammys this year look to have been dominated by Taylor Swift's unrestrained excitement (she cannot stop dancing), Justin Timberlake, Prince's swagger and the odd way Jay-Z seems to be presiding over the whole affair.

Taylor Swift's diss heard 'round the world from the 2013 Grammys may have launched a thousand Tumblr rants, but one reaction she won't get? The one she probably wants the most. One Direction singer Harry Styles, whose British accent she mocked onstage during her circus act opening performance at the ceremony, is simply ignoring her.

Congratulations to Taylor Swift! She and the Civil Wars nabbed the golden gramophones at the 2013 Grammys for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

The 2013 Grammys were chock full of amazing performances. If you were taking a bathroom break or grabbing more popcorn and missed the best of the show's showcase of talent, have no fear -- all your performance videos are here!
