When she's not busy dating all the men in the universe, Taylor Swift is doing normal person things, like beatboxing on stage at the Grammy Nominations Concert while LL Cool J raps/sings. Of course, T-Swizzle is terrible at beatboxing. To be fair, though, everyone is terrible at beatboxing. But look, she's just so good natured about the whole thing!

While ratings were up for what some consider History's Worst Oscars that doesn't mean it's a big winner. No, it seems like the Grammys telecast just a few weeks ago scored an even bigger audience.

I was watching the Grammys last night because I had nothing better to do, and it dawned on me that, for all of the Grammys' shortcomings (and there are many), I enjoyed watching that telecast FAR more than I've enjoyed watching any Oscars telecast over the past 10 or 20 years. Here's why:

The 54th annual Grammy Awards will air at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Here are your nominees. Please talk amongst yourselves and share your Whitney tributes in the comments.

Indie folk fans tuning in to the Grammys — gotta be some overlap there, right? — will be disappointed to learn Bon Iver will not be performing. The Hollywood Reporter has some choice quotes from frontman Justin Vernon, who spoke to press on Thursday night at a Bushmills whiskey event in New York. Vernon's musical talent is apparent, but he could use some work on not sounding like a complete tool. Turns out his frustration with the Grammys stems from Bon Iver being asked to perform with — horror of all horrors — another group.

The Recording Academy announced Steve Jobs will receive a Trustees Award. Jobs's Apple won a technical Grammy in 2002, but this posthumous honor puts him in pantheon with The Beatles - who Jobs promised he'd never sell music (oops!).

The Grammy Awards nominations were announced on Wednesday night! Hooray! Everyone loves the Grammys. They're like the Oscars for blind people. And your mom's entire iPod was nominated. Here are the nominees. Congrats, Skrillex! Exchange bitcoins accordingly.

The bloated music industry love-in known as the Grammys has decided to cut the number of prizes it awards. Instead of handing out 109 trophies at next year's show, just 78 will be given out. That's a good way to start trimming the fat, but they didn't go far enough.

Former music executive and current advertising guru Steve Stoute took a full-page ad out in the Sunday New York Times basically saying, "Yo, Grammys. I'm really happy for you. I'm gonna let you finish, but Eminem, Kanye West, and Justin Bieber had the best albums of all time." The sad thing is he's right.

Click to view Did you know that Fox News host Glenn Beck is a huge fan of British rock band Muse? Or, he used to be—he said "they 'get it,'" whatever that means—until their performance at the Grammys last night.

Serene Branson, the reporter for L.A.'s CBS affiliate who rather scarily descended into gibberish during Grammy coverage last night, did not have an on-air stroke. According to the New York Daily News, she wasn't hospitalized, is "feeling fine this morning," and was given the OK by paramedics at the scene after inexplicably speaking in tongues during a live shot. CBS isn't feeling so great about things though: It's started systematically trying to remove clips of the glitch from YouTube, citing copyright infringement.

About 26.5 million people tuned into see just which way Lady Gaga was born at the Grammys last night. That's the show's largest audience since 2001. That also means a record number of people saw Justin Bieber lose. Perfect!

If you were just Googling "Esperanza Spalding"—tonight's surprise winner of the Grammy for Best New Artist—you may have been surprised to learn from her Wikipedia page that "SHE IS F****** REATARD," or that her middle name is either "Justin" or "Quesadilla," or, for that matter, that she beat out "Nominee and gay favorite Justina Bieber" for the award. Well! Far be it from us to cast aspersion on the accuracy of a user-edited font of knowledge like Wikipedia, but it certainly seems possible that fans of losing nominee Justin Bieber (or, perhaps, people who like to throw poop around the internet) may have been "vandalizing" her Wikipedia page, adding possibly-untrue facts like:

Tonight's Grammy Awards got much more interesting when Cee-Lo Green—decked out in some sort of rainbow-colored Liberace/Muppet/Peacock ensemble—took to the stage to perform "F*ck You." But wait! Then, Gwyneth Paltrow showed up. And sang. In Ebonics.

Tonight, the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards opened with an Aretha Franklin tribute—featuring Yolanda Adams, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Martina McBride, and Florence Welch—that seemed more like Divas Live than an awards show performance. Then, Aguilera took a tumble!

Tonight, after what seemed like an eternal musical tribute to Aretha Franklin, the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards really got started when pop diva Lady Gaga hatched from the egg she arrived in to perform her new single, "Born This Way."

Lady Gaga arrived at the Grammys tonight inside of a translucent cocoon, carried on a litter by a troupe of shirtless gogo dancers. There was absolutely nothing remarkable about this. In fact, bystanders were surprised that the usually flamboyant Lady Gaga chose to wear such a run-of-the-mill outfit on the red carpet.

Tonight, the nominations for next year's Grammy Awards were announced live during an hourlong concert on CBS. Unsurprisingly, Justin Bieber was nominated for Best New Artist. Somewhat surprisingly, Bieber reacted by giving a weird, seemingly pre-written acceptance speech. Watch inside.

Animal New York says this photo of Lady Gaga from the Grammys definitely proves she does not have man parts. As Gawker's resident vagina expert, I know this is a real vagina. The problem is, it's not the real Gaga.
