Brit Awards: Five things to look out for in tonight’s ceremony

The Brit Awards are celebrating their 45th edition, with Charli XCX leading the nominations with five, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for “Brat.” While she won Songwriter of the Year, she won’t be performing. The show will feature performances by Ezra Collective, Sam Fender, Lola Young, and Teddy Swims. Other notable nominations include The Beatles, Sam Ryder, and TikTok stars. A tribute to Liam Payne is expected, and Jack Whitehall returns as host. Several records could be broken, with potential wins for The Beatles, Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and The Cure. The ceremony will be broadcast live on ITV and ITVX in the UK, and internationally on the Brits YouTube channel.
