Taylor Swift is leading the nominations, with 14 entries in 13 categories and Sam Smith is nominated for 13 awards in 13 categories.

"I think every year we have someone who is just like a standout person in music and I think Sam Smith takes that cake for this year," Ludacris told ABC. "I think he said it best when he won his Grammy. He was like, once he just started being completely honest and pouring his heart out, then everyone started gravitating toward his music and it shined. And I'm extremely happy for him."
