Brit Awards 2023: preview
The UK’s most popular rappers, boppers and hip-hoppers are preened and primped for the Brit Awards 2023, aka the British Grammys. Stormzy, Harry Styles and Sam Smith will all be performing at the annual bash, though tonight’s show is certainly not without controversy.
Every year, it seems, at least one major awards body is required to shoot itself in the foot, and this time it’s the turn of the British Phonographic Industry. A year ago it generated buzz by scrapping gendered awards categories, an unintended consequence of which reared its ugly head when this year’s British Artist of the Year nominees were revealed.
For the first time ever, there are no female artists in the running for the event’s most prestigious prize. Instead, it’s a five-way fracas between grime star Stormzy, prince of pop Harry Styles, who won Album of the Year at last weekend’sGrammys, crooner George Ezra, fresh-faced rapper Central Cee, and DJ Fred Again.
Styles, who’s in the frame in all three major categories, is up against Wet Leg, The 1975, Stormzy and Fred Again (again) for the British Album of the Year accolade, while there are 10 acts going for Song of the Year.
There are some outrageous outfits on show at the O2 Arena this evening, two of the high- or low-lights being Tallia Storm’s pink bikini and fur ensemble and, ahem, whatever it is that Sam Smith and Harry Styles have turned up in. We’ll let you be the judge.
The Brits starts at 8.30pm / 3.30pm ET today. Read on as we explain how to watch a 2023 Brit Awards live stream from anywhere. We’ve also listed the Brit Awards performances and nominees further down the page.
