King watched the roll-out live this morning from her hotel, with her bassist.

When she didnt get named for Best New Artist, she says her mom actually called to console her.

I was like, Mommy!

Let me refresh the rest of the categories!

And then my phone hasnt stopped ringing now.

Getting nominated seems prize enough for King, who feels certain she wont win.

I just want to see my face in the little square.

I wont win, but this is fing awesome.
