Harry Styles Wins Album Of The Year At 2023 Brit Awards - Live Updates

Harry Styles wins Artist of the Year at 2023 Brit Awards

The biggest night in British music came to a rather predictable end, as Harry Styles won every category he was nominated in.

The “As It Was” singer took home the prizes for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Pop/R&B, as the 2023 Brit Awards were transformed into “Harry’s House”.

Wet Leg were the other big winners of the night, as the “Chaise Longue” hitmakers were awarded Best British Group and Best New Artist on Saturday (11 February). They lost out, however, to The 1975 in the Alt/Rock category (which is decided by fans) and to Styles in the Album of the Year category.

Hosted by Mo Gilligan, the show had a number of standout moments including Sam Smith and Kim Petras’s “Unholy” performance, Styles thanking his former One Direction bandmates during his Artist of the Year acceptance speech, Cat Burns’ performance of her 2020 TikTok hit “Go”, and Wet Leg bassist Ellis Durand’s bleeped-out quip against the Tories.

Lizzo’s glittery, show-stopping performance earned praise on Twitter, and David Guetta’s finale act with Becky Hill and Sam Ryder was a surprise triumph.

In the run-up to the ceremony, there was considerable backlash to the all-male contender list for this year’s gender-neutral Artist of the Year prize.
