Lady Gaga is really burning the midnight oil. In fact, forget about burning the midnight oil, she's setting the Grammy nominations on fire and not looking back.

The extraordinary performer is set to open and close the Grammy nominations concert, and you can bet that all of her little monsters will be staying up to watch. The thing that's raising the eyebrows of fans and casual viewers though is Gaga's duet with country band Sugarland on her single, "You and I."

No stranger to bizarrely wonderful collaborations, the country duo has previously worked together Rihanna. Sugarland's frontwoman Jennifer Nettles is sure to lend some of her country flair to one of Gaga's most infectious love anthems; giving the song another version that we're sure to hear for give or take the rest of the year.

Other performers that are set to take the stage are Jason Aldean and Ludacris to perform Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem," The Band Perry, Lupe Fiasco, LL Cool J, Rihanna and more.

While the concert will no doubt be mind-blowing, as the lineup confirms, be sure not to miss the announcement of nominees. After all, isn't that what the concert is for?

This is the Grammy's 54th year, and concert executive Ken Ehrlich reportedly told USA Today how impressive it was that the event of announcing the nominees alone has improved and gained status in such a short amount of time.

"The Grammys have evolved over the years, but this show has taken bigger leaps and bounds because it's a 4-year-old and not a 54-year-old. We're moving toward a mini-Grammy show, which means more Grammy moments - performances you won't see anywhere else," he said.

The Grammy's is set to happen Feb. 12 at Los Angeles' Staples Center.
