Taylor Swift took home Grammy gold last night - she won Album of the Year!

"When we're 80 years old, and we're telling the same stories over and over to our grandkids, and they're so annoyed with us, this is the story we're going to be telling over and over again," Taylor said during her acceptance speech. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Nominated for eight Grammys, Taylor took home four -- she also won Best Country Album, Best Female Vocal Country Performance, and Best Country Song ("White Horse").

Beyoncé also won big -- she set a record by being the first female performer to nab six statues in one Grammy night, including Song of the Year for "Single Ladies." B also surprised the audience by telling her husband, Jay-Z, "I love you," during her acceptance speech. The singer rarely acknowledges their marriage in public, and even Jay-Z looked shocked afterwards!

As the decade draws to a close, the J-14 staff reflects back on our favorite music video of the decade:

"Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim
"Not only did this win video of the year at the VMAs, but come on -- Christopher Walken dancing?! Pure brilliance." -- Associate Editor Kim Messina

"Single Ladies" by Beyoncé
"Not for Kanye West since he didn't let Taylor Swift finish... but because Joe Jonas spoofed it. No, seriously, it's just a great song and a simple but great video." -- Assistant Editor Emily Krauser

"Here It Goes Again" by OK Go
"It was the first viral music video when YouTube first became big!" -- Assistant Art Director Erik Jacobsen

"Hey Ya!" by Outkast
"This video is just so fun and entertaining, and it's a song that everyone still loves to bop their heads to!" -- Photo Assistant Katelyn Mullen

"Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day
"This movie-like video completely upped the bar on music videos. The love story is so poignant (dare I say it rivals Edward and Bella?!) and the tragedy so heart-wrenching." -- Editor-in-Chief Rachel Chang

"You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift (Featured)
"Yo Kanye, I'm really happy for you. I'm gonna let you finish, but Taylor had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!" -- Photo Director Danielle Kepler

"I'm a Slave 4 U" by Britney Spears
"For me, this is one of the most captivating dance videos. More is always more when it comes to BritBrit! I definitely still remember all of the dance moves to the chorus of this song!" -- Editorial Assistant Lisa Raphael

Do you agree or disagree? And what's your pick for best music video of the decade?

Divas unite! It was announced today that Beyoncé and Taylor Swift will be performing at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards on January 31. The two singers lead the pack of nominees that include Paramore, Kanye West, Kings of Leon, the Black Eyed Peas, and Lady Gaga -- Beyoncé has 10 nominations and Taylor has eight.

Lady G and the Peas are also scheduled to perform. Other performers will be announced as it gets closer.

In other Taylor Swift news, the country singer was just named AP's Entertainer Year!

Beyonce's kept pretty quiet about the whole Taylor Swift/Kanye West VMA debacle -- until now! The singer finally sounded off on why Kanye did it and what was running through her mind when it happened...

"He told me before, when they said the nominees, he's like, 'You have this award,'" Beyonce spilled. She had no idea what he was going to do if she didn't though! "When they didn't call my name he was, like, completely shocked," Beyonce explained. "When he walked on stage, I was like, 'No, no, no!' and then he spoke, and I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no!'"

And of course B admitted that she was happy to let Taylor have her moment at the end!

Woah -- the VMAs are known for their craziness, but last night's incident was out of control!

Taylor S. was so shocked -- and the screen quickly went to a break. Right away, celeb like Paramore's Hayley Williams took to their Twitters started supporting Team Taylor!

But later on when Beyonce won for Video of the Year, she called Taylor out on stage and told her to have her moment! Awwww!

After the show, Kanye apologized on his blog to Taylor on his blog... here's what it says:
