Kicking off the show was pop sensation Ed Sheeran performing his song ‘Bad Habits‘ with a rock N roll twist with the band Bring Me The Horizon, bringing a wild atmosphere, building up the upbeat energy around the room, it was a brilliant way to start. 

Many performances brought the spark to the stage, such as Anne Marie, KSI and Digital Farm Animals, singing their favourite singles like ‘Don’t Play‘, ‘Holiday‘, ‘Kiss My (Oh-Oh)‘ and many more. They all were iconic, especially Anne Maire’s moment of strength and embarrassment, where she accidentally tripped down the stage stairs. 

There were other empowering performances at the Brits, like Adele with her high-ranged vocals singing ‘I Drink Wine‘, rising stars Holly Humberstone and Little Simz also had their first Brits debut act where they took charge of the stage. 

While seeing moving performances by singers such as Ed Sheeran, Adele, Dave, Little Simz and many more, what made it more diverse and unique was the new genderless categories for Artist of the Year and International Artist of the Year.
