Beyonce, Taylor Swift, U2 among big Grammy nominees

The last one came with album of the year. Beyonce’s self-titled release of late 2013 made the list, along with Beck’s “Morning Phase,” Sam Smith’s “In the Lonely Hour,” Pharrell’s “Girl” and Ed Sheeran’s “X.”

Beyonce’s other nominations are for best R&B performance, best R&B song, best urban contemporary album, best surround-sound album and best music film.

Even Miley Cyrus got into the act. She received her first Grammy nomination ever for her album “Bangerz,” which was nominated for best pop vocal album.
