Everyone heard Katy Perry roar during "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!" on Friday night. Perry pre-taped a performance of her hit single "Roar" for the broadcast, and scored nominations for Song of the Year (for "Roar") and Best Pop Solo Performance (for "Roar" as well).

Perry's hit album, "Prism," was not eligible for Grammys consideration this year, as it was released outside the nominations window. The 56th annual Grammy Awards honor music released between Oct. 1, 2012 and Sept. 30, 2013; Perry's "Prism" was released on Oct. 18.

Last year, Taylor Swift faced a similar calendar issue, as her hit record, "Red," arrived on Oct. 22, 2012; as such, Swift's album was nominated for this year's Album of the Year Grammy award.

"The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!" concert took place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Friday night. In addition to Perry and Swift, musicians Lorde, Macklemore and Robin Thicke all performed. For more on the Grammys, head to the organizations website.

The 2014 Grammys are set to air on CBS on Jan. 26, 2014.

This post will be updated with Perry's full performance once it's available.
