Kristin Bell and Josh Dushmel, stars of the new film 'When In Rome' presented the second Grammy Award of the evening.
Kristin had on an unusual navy blue and gold trimmed long gown that had a high collar with cut outs for the arms and her chest. I was having a hard time figuring out how it was actually fitted to her petite body. Her long blonde hair was worn down and stick straight.

Kristin started the speech by saying "when Josh and I aren't busy promoting our romantic comedy 'When In Rome' we spend virtually all of our free time, early and often (she pointed her finger at Josh) deciding which of Bon Jovi's many rock classics the band will play as part of the first ever Grammy performance."
Josh said "in fact, there's still time for all of you to vote which song Bon Jovi will play in just about an hour."
Josh and Kristin then proceeded to show how viewers could vote by going to www.cbs.com/grammys to pick on of three Bon Jovi favorites.
Then Josh and Kristin listed the nominees for Best Country Album.
Kristin said "anywhere you go country music has never been more popular." Josh said "the Nominees for Best Country Album is the Zac Brown Band for "The Foundation", George Strait for "Twang", Taylor Swift for "Fearless", Keith Urban "Defying Gravity" and Lee Ann Womack "Call Me Crazy".
The Grammy went to Taylor Swift who seemed shocked when her name was called. The crowd cheered and went crazy with applause.
She stood up and turned and hugged her mother. She was wearing a long turquoise blue gown with lots of sparkle. Her naturally curly blonde hair was worn up in a retro glam updo style. Taylor showed off her shoulders in a gorgeous backless Kaufman Franco gown.
Prior to the award ceremony, Taylor picked up three Grammy awards. Taylor completed her look with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Louboutin heels.
In her acceptance speech Taylor said "This is my first time walking up those stairs to accept a Grammy on national television. Thank you so much. I want to thank my record album for letting me write every song on my album and I just keep thinking back to second grade when you sing at your talent show for the first time and people joke around 'maybe we'll see you are The Grammys some day' and that just seems like an impossible dream. I feel like I'm standing here accepting an impossible dream. Thank you so much for that."
Keith Urban was in the audience with his wife Nicole Kidman who was wearing her cinnamon hair pulled up into a retro glam updo. Keith and Nicole smiled and clapped for Taylor.
It's always a little weird when I see Nicole at music events because sometimes I forget she's married to Keith.
