Swift up for BBC Music Award

David Bowie, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift are among the nominees in the first ever BBC Music Awards.

Bowie and Sheeran are up against Elbow, Jungle, Royal Blood and Sam Smith for the accolade of British Artist of the Year.

It is the second nod for Smith this week after he received no less than six Grammy nominations — the same number as Beyonce and Pharrell Williams.
