Taylor Swift and LL Cool J to Co-Host Grammy Nominations
Taylor Swift and LL Cool J have been announced as the co-hosts of "The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! Countdown to Music's Biggest Night" on Monday.
It will be a reunion for the pair. The country music darling and rapper previously hosted the first Grammy nominations special together in 2008.
Swift and Cool J will appear on the annual program on Dec. 5 from Nashville, Tennessee's Bridgestone Arena on CBS, according to E! News.
The one-hour show will announce Grammy nominations in several categories ahead of the awards show. Country music singer Luke Bryan and the band Maroon 5 are slated to perform during the show, while other artists as well as presenters have yet to be announced.
The 55th Annual Grammy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 10, 2013 live from Los Angeles, California's Staples Center on CBS.
Meanwhile, Swift is currently enjoying the success of her latest album "Red," released last week. The album containing 16 new tracks by the singer has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and is expected to fetch the singer several music awards.
As her music career continues to flourish, Swift's personal life has also made headlines. The "State of Grace" singer's love life reportedly took a down turn recently as her rumored relationship with Conor Kennedy came to an end last week.
Swift, 22, first became romantically linked to Kennedy, a high school senior of Deerfield Academy boarding school, over the summer. Kennedy, 18, is the grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy. He and Swift have been photographed multiple times while holding hands near the Kennedy's family compound in Hyannis Port, Mass.
Many reports indicated that the couple ended their romance due to Swift's busy schedule, but Hollywood Life said the split was "more of a break than a break up."
While rumors continue to swirl about her love life, Swift's music about romance gone wrong is world famous. The singer recently admitted that she tends to fall in love easily while speaking to Rolling Stone magazine.
"The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard," explained the country music darling.
"You have to forget about what everyone else thinks," continued the singer. "It has to be us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it… I have rules for a lot of area of my life. Love is not going to be one of them," she told the magazine.
