We found love in a hopeless place last year, but can we find it again? Topping the list of performers for the upcoming 55th annual Grammy Awards this year are five-time nominees Rihanna and Taylor Swift. But there are some new kids on the block this year too. Making a triumphant Grammy debut will be six-time nominees—and the only group honored in each of the so-called Big Four categories—Fun. Mumford & Sons will come out of their cave (walking on their hands), and the Black Keys will sing to (and maybe even find a little gold on) the ceiling. The show, set to air on CBS Feb. 10, will once again be led by the king of calm, LL Cool J. Here's hoping we dodge another Minaj-inspired “Roman Holiday” and find someone like Adele instead.
