We are having to wait a little longer this year for The BRIT Awards with Mastercard to land, but now that Jack Whitehall has been announced to host the show on Tuesday 11th May, and the nominations have been revealed, excitement is heating up!

Although the show is expected to be a little different in 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic, a whole host of some of the UK's biggest stars are still expected to attend, including the likes of Harry Styles, Dua Lipa and Joel Corry.

As we count down the days for The BRIT Awards 2021, take a trip down memory lane to see how the show celebrated its 40th anniversary back in 2020.

1) Lewis Capaldi gave us the photoshoot of our dreams

Lewis Capaldi was serving some LOOKS on the BRIT Awards 2020 red carpet. In true Capaldi style, he gave us a variety of poses to enjoy.

2) Lizzo turned up dressed as an actual Hershey's chocolate bar

American singer Lizzo showed she's got style by rocking up dressed as a chocolate bar! Not only that she also had a matching purse! - LOVE IT!

3) Harry Styles leaving us in tears at his beautiful performance of 'Falling'

Former One Direction singer Harry Styles had us in tears with his stunning performance of his amazing track 'Falling'.

4) Lizzo gave the performance of her life

She seriously did. Lizzo sang a medley of 'Truth Hurts', 'Good As Hell' and 'Juice' at the BRIT Awards 2020.

5) Harry Styles and Lizzo's PDA

6) Billie Eilish fan-girled over Sporty Spice as she won International Female Solo Artist

8) Dave drew attention to real issues

9) Anne-Marie turned up as a real-life Princess

10) Stormzy's amazing performance and getting very wet (again)

11) Lewis Capaldi's slightly awkward speech

Where he confirmed 'Someone You Loved' is definitely about his Gran who passed away and added that he doesn't want ITV to invite on a reality show!
