Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift Among Canada’s Juno Nominees
Just one day after the Academy of Country Music Awards nominees were announced, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) has revealed its nominees for the upcoming Juno Awards -- with a list that boasts plenty of star power from south of the Canadian border.
Lady Antebellum's 'Need You Now' and Taylor Swift's 'Speak Now' are both nominated for International Album of the Year. Other albums named in that category are Eminem's 'Recovery,' 'Animal' by Ke$ha and Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream.'
For Country Album of the Year, the nominees are 'Love Rules,' by Carolyn Dawn Johnson, 'Trail in Life' by Dean Brody, 'Sunshine' by Deric Ruttan, 'Day Job' by Gord Bamford and Johnny Reid's 'A Place Called Love.'
Canadian-born singer and actor Drake leads the pack of nominations with six, including Artist of the Year. Rock band Arcade Fire came in a close second with five nominations, followed by Justin Bieber, Johnny Reid, Hedley and Broken Social Scene, with four nods each.
The ceremony, which will be broadcast live on CTV on March 27, will also include the induction of Timmons, Ontario, native Shania Twain into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
Tickets for the event go on sale Saturday, February 5 and can be purchased here.
