teen choice awards

Taylor Swift didn't perform at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday (Aug. 11), and she didn't turn up at the ceremony -- she was otherwise engaged and on tour. She didn't win any of the mainstream or pop awards for which she was nominated, but she did pocket two country-specific awards in absentia.

The 2013 Teen Choice Awards have just announced additional nominations, and it's no surprise that superstars Taylor Swift and Luke Bryan have garnered additional nominations.

Blake Shelton nabbed three nominations for the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, which air this Sunday (July 22) at 8PM ET. How does the beloved country superstar feel about being thisclose to nabbing a healthy chunk of the, uh, popular vote? Pretty darn good, that’s how.
