Prizes in 6 categories
Sets a record: Raye sweeps the Brit Awards
At this year's Brit Awards, British singer Raye lived up to her role as favorite and set a record with prizes in a total of six categories. In the run-up to the event, she had already been named Songwriter of the Year - the first woman in the history of this award.
At Saturday night's ceremony in London, she received the trophies for Best Album ("My 21st Century Blues"), Best Song ("Escapism."), Best Female Artist, Best New Artist and Best R'n'B Artist.
Was nominated in seven categories
Raye entered the race with seven nominations - more than any other solo artist before her. With six awards, she broke the record for the most Brits won in one award year, beating previous record holders Blur, Harry Styles and Adele, who had won four awards in one year.
The Brit Award for Best International Band went to US indie band Boygenius, made up of singer-songwriters Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus. SZA was unable to accept her award for Best International Female Artist in person and thanked her via video message, as did Miley Cyrus, who was delighted with her award for Best International Song.
Dua Lipa opened the awards ceremony at the Millennium Dome in London with her hit "Training Season", including impressive New Circus-style acrobatics and risky stunts. Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding performed their hit "Miracle" together for the first time at the Brits.
Kylie Minogue honored as "Global Icon"
Raye, Jungle, Becky Hill with Chase & Status, Rema and Tate McRae also performed during the awards show. Australian pop queen Kylie Minogue was honored as a "Global Icon" and performed a medley of her greatest hits at the end of the evening.
