The 1975 dominated this year’s BRIT Awards, taking home the big prizes for Best Group and Album of the Year for the first part of their Music For Cars project ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’.
Using their first acceptance speech to highlight misogyny in music, the band also performed ‘Sincerity Is Scary’, complete with Matty Healy’s increasingly iconic knitted rabbit hat as sported in the song’s video and on tour.
Elsewhere, Calvin Harris took home Best Single alongside Dua Lipa for ‘One Kiss’, as well as the Producer of the Year award, while George Ezra won Best Male Solo Artist and Jorja Smith was awarded Best Female Solo Artist.
The three international awards were taken by The Carters, Drake and Ariana Grande, while Little Mix won Best Video for ‘Woman Like Me’. Tom Walker took with Best Breakthrough.
