This marks the second year since Brit Awards abandoned the gendered categories, but this change isn’t the triumph it was supposed to be. The announcement of the nominations was met with some backlash because the artist of the year field is entirely male. The Brit spokesperson addressed the situation, blaming the lack of releases by “high profile women artists” and “trends based around the release schedule” on the lack of female nominees.

]]>Swift will receive the award “in recognition of her immense impact on music across the world and incredible repertoire and achievements to date”, and her triumph is quite historic. This accolade was previously given to Elton John and David Bowie, and Swift is actually the first female artist and the first non-English artist to receive it.
Swift has been nominated for several Brit Awards in the past and was named as the best international female solo artist in 2015. She’s in the running in that same category this year, and she’ll be up against Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, and Miley Cyrus.
This year’s Brit Awards are taking place on May 11th, with Jack Whitehall hosting the ceremony. The list of major nominees includes Dua Lipa, Celeste, Joel Corry, Arlo Parks, Young T & Bugsey, and AJ Tracey, with three nominations each.

]]>The Bad Education star recently discussed his hosting duties with The Sun, and said that it’s always an honor to host BRIT Awards, but it feels even more special this year.
“I must be doing something right to be invited back. This is about celebrating all the artists that made the music which helped us get through what’s been a b*d of a year. It’s also now just a nice excuse to get out of the house and put on a suit,” said Whitehall.
The BRIT Awards nominations will be announced on March 31st, with the expectation of a rising star award. Griff has already been announced as the winner in this category, beating Pa Salieu and Rina Sawayama. The ceremony will take place on May 11th, and we’re yet to learn more about its format under the current COVID safety rules.

]]>Swift will receive the award “in recognition of her immense impact on music across the world and incredible repertoire and achievements to date”, and her triumph is quite historic. This accolade was previously given to Elton John and David Bowie, and Swift is actually the first female artist and the first non-English artist to receive it.
Swift has been nominated for several Brit Awards in the past and was named as the best international female solo artist in 2015. She’s in the running in that same category this year, and she’ll be up against Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, and Miley Cyrus.
This year’s Brit Awards are taking place on May 11th, with Jack Whitehall hosting the ceremony. The list of major nominees includes Dua Lipa, Celeste, Joel Corry, Arlo Parks, Young T & Bugsey, and AJ Tracey, with three nominations each.

]]>The Bad Education star recently discussed his hosting duties with The Sun, and said that it’s always an honor to host BRIT Awards, but it feels even more special this year.
“I must be doing something right to be invited back. This is about celebrating all the artists that made the music which helped us get through what’s been a b*d of a year. It’s also now just a nice excuse to get out of the house and put on a suit,” said Whitehall.
The BRIT Awards nominations will be announced on March 31st, with the expectation of a rising star award. Griff has already been announced as the winner in this category, beating Pa Salieu and Rina Sawayama. The ceremony will take place on May 11th, and we’re yet to learn more about its format under the current COVID safety rules.
