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!

When the clock strikes midnight to start the new decade, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez will be together -- both stars are performing on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve live from Las Vegas!

Could the new year also mean new love for Justin and Selena? As J-14 reported in our January issue (on stands now!), Selena told us exclusively that she thinks Justin is "cute!" Hmm -- we wonder if they'll kiss at midnight! ;-)

Also performing this year is the Black Eyed Peas (Fergie is co-hosting), Keri Hilson, Colbie Caillat, Orianthi, and Robin Thicke from Las Vegas, and Jennifer Lopez and Daughtry from Times Square in NYC. Ryan Seacrest will be hosting from NYC.

The New Year's Eve special begins at 10 pm ET on ABC on December 31.

Do you think Justin and Selena would make a cute couple? What would their celeb couple name be? Jelena? Biebez?

This really has been Taylor Swift's year! The country crooner was nominated for eight 2010 Grammy Awards, just behind Beyoncé's ten Grammy nods.

Beyoncé has won 10 Grammys over her solo careers, but Taylor hasn't won any yet!

Hey J-14ers,

Last night I saw by far my favorite concert of the year -- OP presents Boys Like Girls with Cobra Starship, The Maine, A Rocket To The Moon, and VersaEmerge. I've never seen so much energy in one show!

My fave song by The Maine last night was actually the last one they performed (okay, it's one of my faves by them in general anyway!), "Girls Do What They Want." Lead singer John O'Callaghan was so into it felt like he got lost in the song! Plus after their set, I ran into a fan who was so excited to catch one of drummer Pat Kirch's drumsticks -- she said she had to practically fight the crowd to keep it! Now those are real fans!

I've never seen Cobra Starship live, but I have met lead singer Gabe Saporta, guitarist Ryland Blackinton, and bassist Alex Suarez before, so I was psyched to finally see them perform a full set. And they sure did perform for their hometown crowd! "It's good to be home, man," Gabe told the crowd at the beginning of the show. Cobra opened with "The City Is At War," got the crowd in a frenzy when they announced the song "Pete Wentz Is The Only Reason We're Famous," danced like madman to the latin-infused punk song "Smile For The Paparazzi," and rocked out to their newest single, "Hot Mess." But the highlight of the night was definitely their last song, when Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester came out to perform Cobra's hit single "Good Girls Go Bad." It was the first time Leighton ever performed with Cobra live, and she brought two back-up dancers on stage with her! I've never seen a crowd go as nuts as they did for this song.

Well, that was until Boys Like Girls came on! Sure it helps that I know every song, but they had me hooked from the moment the second they hit the stage covering Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling," which led right into their single, "Love Drunk." I was psyched to hear them play two of my fave tracks off their Boys Like Girls album, "Five Minutes To Midnight" and "Hero/Heroine," and it was awesome to hear VersaEmerge's lead singer Sierra Kusterbeck take on Taylor Swift's part in BLG's newest single, "Two Is Better Than One." But the absolutely best part of the night was when they took on their sick anthem, "The Great Escape" -- not only was it amazing to hear live, lead singer Martin Johnson invited everyone up on stage to sing with them!

It was a crazy way to end an awesome night of music!

Tell me J-14ers -- what's the best concert you've been to this year?

<3,

Last night, the top ten contestants on So You Think You Can Dance performed with new partners, solos, an African dance routine featuring just the guys, and a Bollywood routine with the girls.

Philip fans, don't be sad -- he and Caitlin, (the two dancers kicked off last week) will be joining the top ten on tour as well!

On tonight's elimination show (9 p.m. ET on Fox), the Black Eyed Peas are performing their new single "I Gotta Feeling" and two more dancers will go home. Check back tomorrow on our J-14 blog to hear what the J-14 editors have to say about who got eliminated!

The 19-year-old "Fire Burning" singer stopped by the J-14 office and became J14.com's Guest Editor for a Day! Check out his Top 5 Songs of the Summer:

1. Lady Gaga "LoveGame" I like the futuristic disco type of thing. She's definitely a dope artist. I love her music, she's tight.

2. Drake "Best I Ever Had" Him coming out saying that he wishes he could meet every girl in the world -- I just like whole concept.

3. Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow" This song makes me want to get up and dance. It's a catchy hook, it's easy to sing a long to, and Black Eyed Peas are great. I like Fergie, I like the way Fergie comes in on the song that whole, "I'm so 3008..." Her swag is crazy. I love her. She's just so down to earth cool.

4. Pitbull "Calle Ocho" I think that has a little Spanish vibe to it that I like. Pitbull is great. You know he represents Miami. I'm from Miami. I think it's a great record.

5. Jay-Z "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" Jay-Z is great. He's on my ipod. He's a lyricist. He's a genius. He's my favorite rapper. He's actually somebody who I look up to, I idolize.

Tomorrow night is the MuchMusic Video Awards -- it's the Canadian version of the MTV Video Music Awards -- and J-14 will be front and center for all the action!

We got to spend the whole day today backstage at the On 3 Productions Gift Lounge and saw Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, the Black Eyed Peas, and Canadian band Rise Against rehearse their performances. Even though it's a rainy day in Toronto, it didn't stop everyone from giving it their all -- even though it was only rehearsal! You know that means tomorrow they're going to bring their A Game!

The Jonas Brothers are co-hosting and performing at the big show, but they were M.I.A. today. Why, you ask? Tonight is the kickoff of their world tour in Dallas -- but they're hopping on a plane to Toronto right after the concert! (Psst! Rumor has it Miley is performing with JB tonight in Dallas. She told
J-14 last weekend that she wasn't -- guess they were really trying to keep it a secret! hehe)

J-14 will be Twittering live from the red carpet and backstage all day tomorrow! We're not going to give anything away -- but we might be hanging out with a vampire and a werewolf! ;-) So make sure to follow us on Twitter @J14magazine.

Click here to see pictures from today's rehearsals.

The MMVAs takes place tomorrow night at 9 pm ET on MuchMusic -- red carpet special at 8 pm. And no worries all you non-Canadians, the MMVAs will be on TV Guide Network in the US on June 27 at 8 pm ET/PT.
