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!

Nashville native Ashlyne Huff has singing in her blood -- her dad Dann Huff is a producer and session guitarist who's worked with Bon Jovi, Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill, and Keith Urban, and her brother is a drummer! Ashlyne's even good friends with Keith and babysits for country singer Martina McBride's kids!

Ashlyne's single, "Heart of Gold," is currently out on iTunes and her self-titled debut album will drop this spring. The singer stopped by the J-14 offices to chat with us and let you know all about her new tunes -- look for a q&a soon and check out her video shout-out above!

Hey J-14ers!
 
It's Tierney here, one of the J-14 interns and in my last blog, I confessed my (no longer) secret love of country music when country singer Jesse Lee came in. Well, today Jessica Harp from The Wreckers stopped by J-14 and I'm not gonna lie -- I was stoked because I love her song "Boy Like Me"!
 
Jessica rocked a hippie chic look in a tie dye maxi dress and gladiator sandals. Her outfit totally reminded me of Nicole Richie or the Olsens -- she even had a Starbucks drink in her hand! She talked to us all about her new album,  A Woman Needs, which is set to drop later this year, and what it was like working with Ashley Tisdale's boyfriend, music video director Scott Speer!

He directed the video for her catchy first single "Boy Like Me." Jessica dished the video shoot was before Ashley and Scott were dating, so she didn't get a chance to meet her -- but she did say Scott was amazing to work with and even picked out her clothes for the video!
 
Jessica had such a relaxed attitude and awesome personality! She even dished all about working with Michelle Branch (one of her best friends!) and Keith Urban (he plays guitar on one of her songs!), living in Nashville, and she told us some pretty hilarious stories. My personal favorite was when she jumped off the stage in heels and slipped on her butt right in front of the audience! Oops!
 
Check out Jessica's music at www.myspace.com/jessicaharp or follow her on twitter (she told us she's obsessed with tweeting!) Her user name is @jessicaharp. (She even tweeted about visting J-14!)
