Taylor Swift, age 20, has rocked the Grammy Awards! She probably had the most exciting night of her life! The 52nd annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles will be a night Taylor will always remember.

She won four Grammy Awards! After winning her first award, People magazine reports that Taylor Swift announced "This is my first Grammy, you guys. I mean this is a Grammy! I live in awe of the people I was nominated against."

Album of the Year & Best Country Album

Taylor Swift won the award Album of the Year and Best Country Album for "Fearless." The title of the album predicts her fearless rise in the music industry this year. After winning this award she said "I just hope you know how much this means to me....that we get to take this back to Nashville" according to the LA Times.

Best Country Song

Taylor has won a the Best Country Song Grammy for her song "White Horse." She shares this Grammy with the song's cowriter, Liz Rose.

Taylor told CMT that "Liz started writing with me years ago when she had no reason to. I didn't even have a label then."

Best Female Country Vocal

She also won the Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal. This coveted award propels Taylor to the top of the heap for her success this year.

Taylor Swift was nominated for a total of eight Grammy Awards! Her career is off to an amazing start and she is still so very young.

Top Selling Digital Artist

Taylor Swift is the "top-selling digital artist in music history with over 24.3 million digital tracks to date" according to CMT.

Taylor is having a fabulous career year. Despite having to endure the spectacle of Kanye West's taking over her acceptance speech at the VMA awards, Swift is still hitting her stride and advancing her career with each new awards show.

New Love for Taylor?

Taylor is also rumored to possibly be starting a new romance with actor Cory Monteith of Glee. Perez Hilton has a picture of them together and Taylor is looking at Cory intently. Who knows, maybe as her career is taking off as she wins Grammy Awards her romantic life is taking an interesting new path too.

Taylor attended the pre-Grammy party of Clive Davis with Cory on Saturday night. Thus their romance is public. This is a brave step for young Taylor. The paparazzi will be following Taylor and Cory relentlessly trying to get romantic pictures as this romance blossoms.

With her career hitting a new peak at the Grammy Awards, Taylor may be able to find some time for love. Best wishes to the new couple!

    You know, I'm not that impressed - I've heard her live twice now, (on TV) the last being the Haiti telethon...while her voice is strong post studio, she's fairly weak and flat live..

    She is great.
