Taylor Swift deve aver fatto la brava quest’anno, perché mercoledì sera ha ricevuto un regalo di Natale in anticipo.

La cantante ha presentato la serata dedicata all’annuncio delle nominations relative ai prossimi Grammy Awards, per il quale è salita sul palco della Bridgestone Arena di Nashville.

Il suo album “Red” non poteva essere nominato per via della sua tarda data d’uscita, ma il singolo “We are never ever getting back together” ha ricevuto una nomination in una delle categorie più importanti in assoluto: Disco dell’anno.

Anche “Safe & Sound”, la canzone scritta da Taylor Swift e i Civil Wars per “Hunger Games”, è stata nominata nelle categorie Miglior performance country di gruppo e Miglior canzone scritta per tv e cinema.

Non male per una ragazza dell’89 che ha già ben 6 Grammy Awards sulla mensola della sua cameretta, eh? 🙂
