The Brit Awards are currently taking place, meaning it’s time to see which of the show’s nominees will actually receive the coveted awards.
Charli XCX has been nominated for a slew of awards following the success of the back of her game-changing Brat album ― other nominees include Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and even The Beatles.
Here’s who’s won so far (we’ll update the list throughout the night):
Song Of The Year ― Charli XCX – Guess, featuring Billie Eilish
The singer was a little casual about the award, saying: ”“Hi, thank you, yeah, this is cool, I’m really happy that a song about underwear now has a Brit award. Very important stuff.”
She added: “I’m sure that says something about songwriting but I’m not sure what.”
Best Pop Act ― JADE
In her first Brit award as a solo artist, the singer swept up Best Pop Act, which the star acknowledged, saying “oh my God” as she accepted the award.
“I can’t cry ’cause I’ve got to sing later,” she added, thanking “the fans cause that’s why I won these awards.”
She also thanked her, management, label, writers, producers, glam, styling, promo, partner, family, and friends.
But the most interesting shout-out to many will be her thanks to “my little mix sisters.”
“I love you so much, I wouldn’t have this award without them, they changed my life.”
Best Rock And Alternative ― Sam Fender
The singer offered “Huge thanks to the fans.”
He added that he was nervous, joking, “I’m nowhere near as drunk as last time, but re-affirmed “we’ve got the best fans in the world.”
“Love youse all, take care, have a good night,” he ended his brief speech.
Rising Star Award ― Myles Smith
The singer, who’s amassed almost two billion streams, read his speech from his phone.
He thanked “government-backed” schemes for taking him from a child raised by a single mother to a graduate from a Russell Group university and a Brit Award winner.
He added: “While I have the attention of the nation I wanna ask” three questions, including one “to the government ― if British music is one of most powerful exports we have, why have we treated it like an afterthought?”
“We can’t just celebrate success, we have to protect the foundations that make it.”
He also asked a question “to the industry ― are we building careers or are we just chasing moments?”
The singer added: “Moments fade but careers last forever.”
