Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Gwyneth Paltrow and rapper/actor Drake are among the first presenters announced for the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. Miranda is the Recording Academy's reigning Female Country Vocalist, having taken home the trophy for 'The House That Built Me' last year.

The country performers are also well represented on the ballots. Jason is up for three Grammys: Country Duo/Group Performance ('Don't You Wanna Stay' with Kelly Clarkson); Country Album ('My Kinda Party'); and Country Solo Performance ('Dirt Road Anthem'). Taylor is also nominated for three awards: Country Album ('Speak Now'), Country Solo Performance ('Mean'); and Country Song ('Mean').

Additionally, Blake has two nods in the Country Solo Performance ('Honey Bee') and Country Album ('Red River Blue') categories. The Band Perry are nominated for the all-genre Best New Artist award, against Bon Iver, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj and Skrillex.
