Taylor tells MTV, "To be recognized by the Grammys is the ultimate honor, and all I know is that when I write about this in my journal tonight, it will be in all capital letters and underlined four times and there will be lots of exclamation points in this entry because I never imagined I'd get to write this kind of journal entry."
Check out Taylor tonight on NBC's The Jay Leno Show she's slated to be part of the "Ten@Ten" segment.
