Taylor Swift has also already bagged two of her seven Grammy nods, taking out Best Pop Vocal Album for 1989 and Best Music Video for Bad Blood (which also counts as a win for Kendrick).

Plenty of Aussies were honoured with nominations at this year’s Grammy Awards, including Melbourne troubadour Courtney Barnett, Perth psych-rockers Tame Impala, Melbourne future-soul heroes Hiatus Kaiyote and veteran country music veteran Keith Urban.

Unfortunately, the latter three have already lost out in their respective categories – Tame to Alabama Shakes, Keith to Chris Stapleton and Hiatus Kaiyote to The Weeknd.

We’ll keep you updated when C-Barn’s Best New Artist category get announced.

Meanwhile, there are also plenty of super-exciting performances to come as the official broadcast goes live, including a supergroup tribute to late Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, another all-star jam featuring Travis Barker, Pitfall and Robin Thicke, Lady Gaga performing a David Bowie tribute and a potential song from Drake (although he’d have us believe otherwise).
