AUSTRALIA'S Keith Urban has been nominated for a Grammy Award.

The country music star is a nominee in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance category for his collaboration with Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift, called You Can't Make Old Friends.

Jay Z easily led Grammy Award nominations, announced on Friday night, with nine, but left-of-centre rappers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Kendrick Lamar were among a group of new stars who took many of the major nominations.

New Zealand teenager Lorde was nominated for four awards, mostly for her debut single Royals.

The 17-year-old schoolgirl, who performed live during the Los Angeles ceremony, is in the running for song of the year, record of the year, best pop solo performance and best pop vocal album for Pure Heroine.

Macklemore and Lewis' gay marriage anthem Same Love was among song of the year nominees and the Seattle rap crew joined Los Angeles rapper Lamar with seven nominations apiece, including best album and best new artist of the year.

Pharrell Williams had four major nominations among his seven and Justin Timberlake also had seven.

Joining Lorde with four nominations apiece were Swift, Daft Punk, Bruno Mars and Kacey Musgraves.

Competing against Lorde's Royals for record of the year are Imagine Dragons' Radioactive, Mars' Locked Out of Heaven, Daft Punk's Get Lucky and Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines.

The Lorde and Mars entries also are up for song of the year with Pink's Just Give Me a Reason, Katy Perry's Roar and Same Love.

The show featured some of the year's top songs.

Lorde performed a starkly different version of Royals, while Swift performed her hit I Knew You Were Trouble in a performance pre-taped in Australia.

Urban performed a duet with US singer Miguel, while Thicke, TI and Earth, Wind & Fire teamed on Blurred Lines.
