Our favourite moments from the BRIT Awards 2021

As The BRIT Awards 2022 with Mastercard draws closer, we look back at some of the best bits from the show last year! From Little Mix's incredible speech to Olly Alexander teaming up with Sir Elton John, this year was one to remember!

Although last year's BRIT Awards was a little different to usual, we enjoyed seeing live music and our favourite stars on the red carpet!

1) Little Mix showed off their baby bumps on the red carpet

Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock showed off their baby bumps alongside Little Mix bandmate Jade Thirwall, and they were glowing!

2) Coldplay open the 2021 BRIT Awards!

Coldplay opened the BRIT Awards by performing their new single 'Higher Power' on the River Thames.

3) You have no authority here Jackie Weaver!

Yes, you read that right. Handforth Parish Council's Jackie Weaver helped to open the show alongside Line of Duty stars Vicky McClure and Martin Compston.

4) Where is Harry Styles?

We spent all night looking. Was he hiding behind one of Little Mix? Was he running late? Was he at the bar? We finally got a glimpse of Harry Styles when he picked up the award for British Single for 'Watermelon Sugar'. His suit did not disappoint.

5) Taylor Swift recognised with Global Icon award

Taylor received the prestigious Global Icon award at this year's Brit Awards and she made an incredible speech to say thank you!

P!nk and Rag'n'Bone Man were joined by the NHS Choir for a special performance of their track 'Anywhere Away From Here'.

10) Dua Lipa takes top prize for Best Album
