Here’s Everything That Happened At The 2020 BRIT Awards
The BRIT Awards returned with a BANG, and it was everything we could have wanted and more. The 40th show started off with a sweet tribute to television presenter Caroline Flack – the Love Island host tragically passed away earlier this week. The night continued to with an array of fantastic performances and interviews that will have music fans talked for days to come.
Securing hosting duties for the third year in a row, comedian Jack Whitehall didn’t disappoint. From calling out the lack of female nominees to his hilarious interviews with the iconic Lizzo and dreamy Harry Styles – Jack Whitehall was on the mark and helped ring in a memorable show.
