The BRIT Awards 2025 was a night to remember, filled with stellar performances, heartfelt speeches and plenty of surprises. Held at London’s iconic O2 Arena, the event saw the biggest names in British and international music come together to celebrate the very best of the industry.
This year, it was Charli XCX who stole the spotlight, clinching five major awards, including the highly coveted Album of the Year.
Charli XCX took home the prestigious Album of the Year for her groundbreaking record Brat. In addition to this top honour, Charli also bagged the titles of Artist of the Year, Dance Act and Song of the Year for her smash-hit track Guess, which features Billie Eilish.
“I’m honestly speechless right now,” Charli said in her acceptance speech. “I’ve poured my heart and soul into this album, and to see it resonating with so many people means the world to me,” she added.
Meanwhile, Sam Fender was also among the night’s big winners, taking home the Rock/Alternative Act award. The North Shields singer-songwriter thrilled the crowd with a powerful live performance of his hit People Watching.
