After a trio of awards shows focused on movie-making, the leading ladies of music took over Hollywood at Clive Davis's annual pre-Grammy bash. "I'm so excited! It's like I'm walking on a cloud," said Taylor Swift (in Collette Dinnigan) who posed with fellow songbirds Katy Perry (in Georges Chakra), Rihanna and Fergie (in Zuhair Murad). "To be nominated eight times? I'll never get used to saying that!"

"Being honored is a true honor and I'm so humbled," said Mary J. Blige, who was cheered on by friends like Taraji P.
