The nominees for the "55th Grammy Awards" were announced last night . . . and Kanye West, Jay-Z, Fun, Dan Auerbach ofThe Black Keys, and Frank Ocean led the way, with six nominations apiece.

Some of the nominees were announced in "The Grammy Nominations Concert Live" special.  It was mostly uneventful . . . but one of the few highlights came when TAYLOR SWIFT beat-boxed during a duet with LL COOL J.

The Grammys air live on February 10th on CBS.
