Grammy 2015: Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande e Miley Cyrus tra i nominati

L’8 Febbraio andranno in scena i Grammy 2015 e oggi abbiamo scoperto chi sono i candidati ad essere i re e le regine del ballo; Pharrell William e Ed Sheeran hanno annunciato stamattina le nomination agli Oscar della musica e sono candidati molti dei nostri preferiti. Nonostante il suo disco 1989 non può essere considerato quest’anno (è uscito troppo tardi per questa edizione dei Grammy), Taylor Swift è riuscita a portarsi a casa tre nomination grazie al grande successo Shake it Off per la categoria Record of the year al fianco di Iggy Azalea, Sam Smith, Sia e Meghan Trainor (siamo molto felici anche per lei!), Best Pop Solo Performance e Song of the Year.

Il suo migliore amico Ed ha ottenuto una nomination per il suo secondo disco X (giustamente!) visto che è in lizza per Best Pop Vocal Album al fianco di Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Sam Smith, Katy Perry e Coldpaly.
