The BRIT Awards 2021 took place on 11 May at The O2 Arena in London, marking the 41st edition of the British Phonographic Industry’s annual celebration of pop music. Hosted by Jack Whitehall for the fourth time.

Dua Lipa emerged as one of the night’s biggest winners, securing the Best British Album award for “Future Nostalgia,” presented by Lewis Capaldi, and the Best British Female Solo Artist award, presented by Mabel and MNEK. Little Mix made history as the first all-female group to win Best British Group, presented by Adam Lambert and Olly Murs, highlighting their impact on the music industry. J Hus took home the award for Best British Male Solo Artist, presented by Kurupt FM, while Arlo Parks was recognized as the Best British Breakthrough Act, presented by Clara Amfo and Maya Jama.

International awards saw The Weeknd winning Best International Male Solo Artist, presented by Michelle Obama, and Billie Eilish taking Best International Female Solo Artist, presented by Annie Mac. HAIM won Best International Group, presented by Billy Porter, and Griff was honored with the Rising Star Award, presented by Celeste. Taylor Swift was celebrated with the Global Icon Award, presented by Maisie Williams. Harry Styles also secured the award for Best British Single with “Watermelon Sugar,” presented by Boy George.

The evening was filled with remarkable performances. Coldplay kicked off the show with “Higher Power,” followed by Olivia Rodrigo’s heartfelt rendition of “Drivers License.” Dua Lipa performed a medley of her hits, including “Love Again,” “Physical,” “Pretty Please,” “Hallucinate,” “Don’t Start Now,” and “Future Nostalgia.” Arlo Parks captivated the audience with “Hope,” and Headie One, alongside AJ Tracey and Young T & Bugsey, performed a medley of “Ain’t It Different” and “Princess Cuts.” Rag’n’Bone Man, P!nk, and the Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir delivered an emotional performance of “Anywhere Away from Here.” Elton John and Years & Years performed “It’s a Sin,” filmed the day before the main show, as a tribute to the LGBTQ+ community and the AIDS crisis. The Weeknd gave a powerful rendition of “Save Your Tears,” and Griff performed “Black Hole.”

Special moments of the night included Dua Lipa’s tribute to key workers and her call for higher pay for NHS staff during her acceptance speech. Little Mix’s historic win as the first all-female group to win Best British Group was another highlight. The Weeknd’s rain-soaked performance of “Save Your Tears” added a dramatic flair, while Elton John and Years & Years’ tribute performance was deeply moving.

Adjustments due to the COVID-19 pandemic were significant. The 2021 BRITs were held with a limited live audience as part of a test by the UK government to explore the possibility of hosting events without social distancing.
