Gay Girl Faves Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Gaga and Beyonce Land Grammy Noms

If Beyonce wanted to put a ring on for every Grammy nomination she received Wednesday night, she’d have a ring on every finger.

The diva who inspired anyone and everyone with a video camera and YouTube account led the pack with 10 nominations, some of which were announced during a special concert Wednesday on CBS featuring performances by The Black Eyed Peas, Maxwell and Sugarland.

In addition to a nomination for song of the year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It),” Beyonce also scored mentions for album of the year for “I Am … Sasha Fierce,” record of the year for “Halo,” best female pop focal performance (also for “Halo”), female R&B vocal performance, R&B song as well as best song written for a motion picture, TV or other visual media for “Once in a Lifetime” from the film Cadillac Records.

American Music Awards darling Taylor Swift was right behind Beyonce and collected eight nominations. Swift’s Fearless will compete with Beyonce in the album of the year race, where the two talented ladies will face off against The Black Eyed Peas’ The E.N.D., Lady Gaga’s The Fame and Dave Matthews Bands’ Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King.
