<p>But Swift's win was just a shot across the bow by the Recording Academy's voters, which awarded honors in the same category to Arcade Fire in 2011 and Adele in 2012. For evidence of the trend -- and the academy's longing to appeal to younger viewers -- look no further than the nominees for Best New Artist in 2013.</p></div></div></div>
