The BRIT Awards 2024 with Mastercard - Winners!
The BRIT Awards 2024 ceremony is officially over, with many flocking into the O2 arena for the biggest night in British music.
This marks the show's 44th year of celebrating British and International artistry live with celebrities and music fans. Hosted by British presenter icons, Maya Jama, Clara Amfo and Roman Kemp, the Mastercard-sponsored event was broadcast on ITV1, and ITVX and live-streamed on YouTube for international viewers.
This year, the two-hour show was populated with 17 awards, interspersed with eight jaw-dropping performances from some of the biggest names in music: Dua Lipa, RAYE, Rema, and Kylie Minogue to name a few. Charli XCX, Green Day, Ben Kingsley-Adir, Joe Keery and Bimini were just a few of this year's presenters, each of them showing support for their creative peers.
RAYE dominated the night with six wins out of a record-breaking seven. A BRIT school graduate, the 26-year-old singer-songwriter won some of the most prestigious awards of the night, including Mastercard Album of the Year. She was presented the award by her school principal, Stuart Worden, and brought her grandmother, Agatha, onto the stage during her acceptance speech. Tonight RAYE made history for the most BRIT wins in one night, surpassing Harry Styles, Adele and Blur, who had all received four in previous years.
Dua Lipa took home the Pop Act award, one of five fan-voted awards. Dua is now the recipient of seven BRIT awards since her first win in 2018. She opened the show with her most recent single, 'Training Season', which saw her leather-clad dancers flipping through the air.
Ahead of the main ceremony, The Last Dinner Party, winners of this year's Rising Star award, were presented with their award by US musician, St Vincent, on ITV2's The Brits Red Carpet show.
Producer of the Year was awarded to Chase & Status who performed their song, 'Disconnect' with Becky Hill, who was nominated for BRITs Dance Act for a third consecutive year.
This year's category changes saw the BRITs extend the number of nominees in the Artist of the Year category from five to ten, and the introduction of the R&B genre award. This meant that the BRITs were able to showcase a diverse range of talent, including Mahalia, Jorja Smith, Salut and Cleo Sol.
Additional performances came from nominees of the International Song of the Year, Tate McRae, who performed her pop hit, 'Greedy', and Rema who performed 'Calm Down'. The award went to Miley Cyrus for 'Flowers'. Last month, 'Flowers' won a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance, making it Miley's first Grammy award.
