14 DAY TRIAL // The 2010 Grammy Awards ceremony promises to be a very A-class event, while also quite a show, now that Beyonce and Taylor Swift are confirmed as performers. Both are the favorite ladies of the night, with 10 and 8 nominations respectively, and both are bound to bring down the house in their own manner with live performances.
Details are not yet available as to which song and in what particular manner the divas will perform it. In fact, their presence on stage for the Grammys night is, as of now, confirmed only by “inside sources,” first to People magazine (for Taylor) and then to Entertainment Tonight (for Beyonce). However, knowing these two, should this prove to be accurate, music lovers all over will certainly be in for a blast, it is being said.
“Taylor Swift, whose eight Grammy nominations are second only to Beyonce’s 10, will be a performer and presenter at 52nd Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Jan. 31, an inside source tells People,” People writes. “ET can confirm exclusively that Beyonce will perform at the 52nd Annual Grammys. An inside source tells ET that Beyonce, who holds the most nominations at 10, will take the stage and perform a number,” ET also says of the first rumored performers for the big night.
Of course, not everybody is thrilled about the way the two female singers managed to monopolize the nominations this year. Just a short while ago, rapper 50 Cent slammed the awards ceremony and, implicitly, all those involved in them (whether nominees or members of the panel) for making of this less about music and more about turning a profit off fans. Because of this, 50 Cent made a point that, this year, he was boycotting the Grammys the best way he knew how: by completing ignoring the entire ceremony.
“Man, [expletive] the Grammys!” the rapper said in an interview with MTV, as we also informed you. “I couldn’t care less about the Grammy Awards. It’ll be the Beyonce and Taylor Swift show. I guess they’ll both be performing at the awards show, which means their record companies will be spending money to raise the production values of the entire show. And when you spend that kind of money you’re supposed to get trophies,” the rapper also said,
