Keith Urban has reportedly praised Taylor Swift for helping popularise country music.

The 20-year-old singer picked up four gongs at last night's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, including the prestigious trophy for 'Album Of The Year'.

According to PA, fellow country star Urban has thanked Swift for helping making sure that "country is alive and well" in the music charts.

The singer also spoke out about performing with wife Nicole Kidman, telling Entertainment Weekly: "We tend to stick to the viral YouTubes of the world. I love singing with her around the house. I don't think we are going to put the show on the road anytime soon."

Urban picked up the prize for 'Best Male Country Vocal Performance' at the annual ceremony, but was beaten to the 'Best Country Album' award by Swift's Fearless.
