A Grammy Award (originally called Gramophone Award) – or Grammy – is an accolade by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to recognize outstanding achievement in the music industry. The annual presentation ceremony features performances by prominent artists, and some of the awards of more popular interest are presented in a widely viewed televised ceremony. It is the music equivalent to the Emmy Awards for television, the Tony Awards for stage performances, and the Academy Awards for motion pictures.
The first Grammy Awards ceremony was held on May 4, 1959, and it was set up to honor musical accomplishments by performers for the year 1958. Following the 2011 ceremony, NARAS overhauled many Grammy Award categories for 2012. The 54th Grammy Awards were held on February 12, 2012, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
The Grammy Awards had their origin in the Hollywood Walk of Fame project in the 1950s. As the recording executives chosen for the Walk of Fame (Tabinda Walk) committee worked at compiling a list of important recording industry people who might qualify for a Walk of Fame star, they realized there were many more people who were leaders in their business who would never earn a star on Hollywood Boulevard. The music executives decided to rectify this by creating an award given by their industry similar to the Oscars and the Emmys. This was the beginning of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. After it was decided to create such an award, there was still a question of what to call it; one working title was the Eddie, to honor the inventor of the phonograph, Thomas Edison. They finally settled on using the name of Edison's invention, the gramophone, for the awards, which were first given for the year 1958.
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.

I'm sick of your lies
And I'm sick of your threats
I'm sick of the way you want
And I'm sick of the way you get
Wait'll I take off
Wait'll you're so bored
You'll still be waiting someday
But you'll never be sure
You're calling me with the blues
It's something I've gotten use to
You treat me like a meal
That you wanna throw-up
You treat me and you trick me
And you don't show up
Don't worry of the queen
If the seats not sold
I'm sure you'll keep your tan
When the sun makes you look old
You're calling me so what do you need
Isn't that why you called?
I know you think
I'm such a fabulous person
That's not the point
Just tell me which way did you fall
Just like that I've gone back on my word
I love you too much to let you fly with a bird
Coming down from an aeroplane crash
Tapping off the shivers on your cigarette ash
You're calling me with the blues
It's something I've gotten use to
You drive too fast
[Unverified] in your mirrors
I'm still one the fly
That you'll get it together
But when's the last time
That you checked your mirrors
I hope for your sake
The vision is clearer
You're calling me
So what do you need?
Isn't that why you called
I know you think I'm such a fabulous person
That's not the point
I didn't know that losing her would be so hard to take
I never thought her memory would be so hard to shake
Or that just one little flash of her could make my day go wrong
Kinda makes me wanna sing a country song
A country song loud and clear with lots of crying in the beer
A country song loud and clear with lots of crying in the beer
[ steel ]
It's hard to know the story line of a book that's halfway read
And it's hard to leave a love undone and things all left unsaid
But it's not so hard to hate yourself when you've been up all night long
Kinda makes you wanna sing a country song
A country song...
Well, it's been a long time since I've had a drink of
alcohol
Since the babies grieved and grandma lost a leg
There ain't no sense in draggin' the lake anymore
There are bats in the belfry and there's liquor at the
store
Oh I've had a look or two at her figure at times
That girl in her tight wearin' bra drivin' me out of my
mind
And there ain't no sense in rememberin' nothin' for
score
'Cause my dad fought the japs in the war
And - and - snd there ain't any more
If I was thinkin' about Thelesa
How she tempted me in the basement
Recording every noise I made
There weren't no sense in what they had to say
'Cause they're tryin' to kill me and they say it's
judgment day
When I think of her lips the way she had 'em at the
store that night
The undertaker was waitin' in the parking lot
She told me I'd be going to find myself in a desperate
It was the best moment of my life
If you think that they'll find you it really doesn't
matter
I'll try my best to save you from the flatterer
There ain't no sense in cryin' 'cause I'm gonna win in
the end
I'm a simple city boy
With simple country tastes
Smoking woild-grown mari-jo-wana keeps that smile on my
face
Depending on my mood, mood,
Listening to my system, just the other night
Watching my TV with the sound turned down
Dying is easy
It's what I'm living for
I heard a beggar
As he wept on my floor
These days I just can't find my ground
No one seems to see me as I'm walking around
Cause in these times there's no surprise
I don't need to fantasise
It's all here in my mind
Some days I'm fine
Nothing on my mind
Some days are ok
Only when I'm high
Love, life, happiness
Nothing more nothing else
Love, life, happiness
Nothing more no regrets
Love, life, happiness
Nothing more nothing else
Love, life, happiness
Nothing more no regrets
These are my times
These are my lives
Cause dying is easy
It's what I'm living for
I heard a beggar as he wept on my floor
Time, these are my times
These are my lives
These are my times
In these eyes there's one surprise
We don't need to fantasise
It's all here in our minds
Some days I'm fine
Nothing on my mind
Some days are ok
But I don't think that's right
Some days are ok
But only when I'm high
Some days are ok
But only when I'm high
Only when I'm high
These are my times (repeat)
Oh Come on (repeat)
These are my times (repeat)
Tick tock goes another one, yeah
Tick tock goes another one
Tick tock there's another one
Another soul gone
Tick tock there's another one gone
I wanted a mountain and you brought one to me
I wanted a mountain and you made one mine
I wanted a mountain... now I must learn to climb... and
it's that
Same old... country song... bringin' you back to me
I wanted the sunlight and you let it shine
I wanted the sunlight and you brought it to me
I wanted the sunlight... now I must learn to see... and
it's that
Same old... country song... bringin' you back to me
From the highest mountain... to the lowest valley
I'm up on a cloud now... down... down on my knees... and
it's that
Same old... country song... bringin' you back to me
I wanted a river and you let one flow
I wanted a river and you brought one to me
I wanted a river... now I must find the sea... and it's
that
Same old... country song... bringin' you back to me...
it's that
Same old... country song... bringin' you back to me...
it's that
Some of us are born to lead
Some of us are born to breed
And some of us are born to sing love songs
Some of us are born to win
Some of us are born to sin
And some of us are good old country boys
Chorus:
So when you're feeling blue, here's what I'll do for
I'll pick up my guitar and start to play
And when I've made my choice I will raise my voice
And sing you a good old country love song
I'll sing a song of divorce
Or tell of lack of intercourse
Starving kids and tramps along the road
I'll sing about the gamblin' man
And God will save him if he can
Just prove his dominoes a bible
Chorus
Mama used to sing me a fine country tune
As my dinner was a stewin'
Yeah my Ma did everything for me
I thank the Lord above
He gave me life and he gave me love
Chorus
I'll tell you of my prison years
If I can just hold back the tears
Thinking of the bad things that I done
But I can't help a little smile
When I recall that sweet little child
Waiting at the gates when they released me
Chorus
Now she's waiting home hummin' a fine country tune
As my dinner is a stewin'
Yeah that girl does everything for me
I thank the Lord above
He gave me hope and he gave me love
Chorus
Well I don't care about sex or race
So long as you stay in your place
I'll find room for you in my song
I glamourise war and death
I epitomize self righteousness
And I'll never do my country wrong
He made his way to the border
In the shadow under the trees
Down by a stream in a hollow
Turn your head feel the breeze
And the red Queen was waiting for the news
For the white King to move
And the balance hung upon the head of one who tried
To stay within the shadows
And keep his undercover secret tight
They let him in by a backway
Into a chamber reserved for the Queen
She took the note that he gave her
Opened it slowly and started to read
Run to the treasury and bring me back some gold
Give it to the pawn who came, she cried
He says the white King thinks the game of chess is wrong
And all the courtiers crowded her
and this is what she told the gathered round
Go to the store by the dungeon
Take all the red paint take all the white
Make up a newborn colour
Cover your neighbor we'll be all right
There will be no game today, she cried across the board
Everyday will be a holiday
And all the pieces cheered as tidings spread abroad
And the Pink Queen sat
and smiled at the cat who smiled back
Well I can't stand to look at you now
This revelation's out of my hands
Still I can't bear the thought of you now
This complication's leaving me scared
Stay when you think you want me
Pray when you need advice
Hey keep your sickness off me; tryin to get through
Blame all your weakness on me
Shame that I'm so contrite
Hey keep your fingers off me; why can't I get through?
You think you have the best of intentions
I cannot shake the taste of blood in my mouth
[Chorus]
(Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
(Hey) all done and all over now (whoa)
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
(Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
(Hey) all good and I can go down (whoa)
You got me thinking that the party's all over
Well I can't stand to be with myself
This liberation's seemingly rare
And I can't stand the taste of your mouth
This sublimation's out of my hands
You stay 'cause you think you want me
Pray when you need advice
Hey keep your sickness off me; I'm tryin to get through
Shame you could take this from me
Pain on an empty mind
Hey keep your fingers off me; why can't I get through?
[Chorus]
(Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
(Hey) all done and all over now (whoa)
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
(Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
(Hey) all good and I can go down (whoa)
You got me thinking that the party's all over
Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down, because I'm tryin' to get through
Say what you want, but you're not gonna win this time
Take what you want, but just leave me alive
Say what you want, but you're not gonna win this time
Take what you want, but just leave me a life
[Chorus]
(Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
(Hey) all done and all over now (whoa)
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
(Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
(Hey) all good and I can go down (whoa)
Still you believe that we can start it all over
Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down, because they party's all over
Lay down
Just stay down
well pick up and giddy-up
sing the song of the western walk,
of trailblazers crossing the mountain rock.
and if i head west,
i guess this is my sacrifice-
my gift to myself.
along the way,
on these banks, i leave you..
Oh, i will leave you.
cause I've had enough;
of this life and love.
i could fill this river with blood and mistakes.
but there's only so much men can take.
do you hear the walls and the floorboards, singing sad
songs?
these songs are about you.
and these are your songs,
and this is my voice,
the voice i gave them ,
to sing you these words.
to remind you,
late at night,
to think of all the things we'll never get to
do together,
and it is my fault,
i want to blame you,
but its not true.
and now i hear the walls and the floorboards singing
sad songs,
these songs are about me,
and these are my songs,
and this is your voice
the voice you gave them,
the day you left me.
but they don't say much anymore,
they just creak underneath my bare feet.
and let out sad notes with the weight of my lean
i am alone.
and i could haunt this town for years to come
and nobody will dare to come around.
they'll all say underneath their breath:
"who could love a ghost like you,
who could love a ghost like me?
don't believe a word he says,
that fucker's no martyr.
he's better off dead.
and i believe,
he got what he deserves.
i believe he got what he, deserves.
Gonna sing you an old country song, from the heart
So I can cry your name and call you when I'm sad
When you have gone, run so far from me in the trees so far
Walkin' down that old country lane, drops of rain
Call upon the ones who call your name
Will I see you again and please just come on back home to me
So I'm not all alone
Gonna sing you an old country song, from the heart
