Well, at the end it could have only gone one way, couldn’t it.
We had the Brat Summer last year, some even tried to create a Brat Autumn, and tonight, the start of a Brat Spring.
Five Brit Awards for Charli XCX (I’m not typing the B word again), and one for its producer, A.G. Cook.
It’s an incredible achievement but a deserved one, especially when you think back to how omnipresent she and her record were last year.
We’ve had rock n’ roll, Sam Fender, who won Best Alternative/Rock act, take to the stage, and if his presence in the Winner’s Room at the moment is anything to go by, he’s about to take to the dance floor tonight.
A good night for the Last Dinner Party too, as they took home best new artist. I can hear them laughing behind me as they start to celebrate their win.
Ezra Collective, and their massive entourage also have a reason to be cheerful, taking home Group of the Year… I told them they were more important than me, maybe now they’ll believe me.
And a moment of Brits history tonight, with Sabrina Carpenter becoming the first international singer to win the Global Success Award.
As the great and good of the UK music industry make their way to one of the many parties happening here and beyond, we’ll leave you here now.
From all of us at the O2 and London Broadcasting House, thanks for joining us. Have a Brat Sunday.
