Charli xcx Turns BRIT Awards Into ‘Brat’ Awards as Danny Dyer Slams Chappell Roan and Prime Minister Keir Starmer
Charli xcx cleaned up at the 2025 BRIT Awards while host Danny Dyer had some strong words for Chappell Roan and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Fender is cut from a different cloth; his unashamedly blue-collar worldview accompanied by relentless indie-rock riffing on “People Watching.” It might normally have seemed a little out of place amidst the glitz of the BRITs, but he’s striking such a chord in the UK heartlands, with a sold-out stadium tour set for the summer, that it felt more like a warm-up for him doing a Charli xcx next year. There would have been little such brand recognition for Ezra Collective, the first jazz act to win British Group and perform on the show, but still consigned to the very end, vibrantly duetting with Jorja Smith as the industry tables emptied and people at home no doubt reached for the remote. Jack Whitehall has done a lot of work in Hollywood since he last presented the BRITs in 2021, but he’s lost none of his edge, happily trotting out near-the-knuckle jokes about The Last Dinner Party (“the Tatler Girls Aloud”), Stormzy (“the grime scene’s Ronald McDonald”) and Coldplay (“the [private] school Nickelback”).
