KELLY CLARKSON

Song: "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)"
Nominated for: Record of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance
Relationship status: It's no longer "me, myself and I" – she's engaged!

The three-time nominee couldn't wait to sing her album's title track for her fans, she told MTV News. "It's like this big dance anthem." In real life, the bride-to-be will be dancing down the aisle now that fiancé Brandon Blackstock put a ring on it.
