Olivia Dean ruled the 2026 BRIT Awards!
UK’s biggest music night returned with a big ban on Saturday, February 28. Organised by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), the lavish ceremony was held at Manchester’s recently opened Co-op Live Arena, with Jack Whitehall making a resounding comeback as the six-time host of the lovely affair.
Beloved Grammy-winning pop act Olivia Dean reigned supreme at the show, taking home multiple win, including the shared Song of the Year title with Sam Fender, Artist of the Year and Album of the Year honours.
On the same stage as her, BLACKPINK’s Rose made history at this year’s soiree as she became the first K-pop artist ever to win a BRIT Award. The Australia-born and South Korea-based crooner shared the International Song of the Year honour with Bruno Mars for their sensational smash hit “APT.”
Harry Styles also dropped in for a delightful surprise, presenting the first live performance of his latest single “Aperture” from the upcoming album “Kiss All The Time Disco, Occasionally.”
