It was another big night for Harry Styles at this year’s BRIT Awards where he won four statues, with Beyoncé and Wet Leg closely following with two apiece.
The ceremony took place in London’s O2 Arena and Aitch began the proceedings by winning Best Hop Hop/Grime/Rap Act, and gave an emotional speech saying “not many people, especially from my side of Manchester, get to stand up here and receive such an award.”
When Harry Styles received the award for Best Pop/R&B Act, he reportedly didn’t make the same remark after his controversial Grammy’s speech last week.
As he won his second award for Best Artist, Harry thanked his OneDirection bandmates, Niall, Louis, Liam and Zayn, saying he wouldn’t be there without them, before addressing the elephant in the room by giving a shout out to the female nominees of the night and dedicating his win to them.
As Harry won his final two awards for Best Song and Best Album, it seemed as though he ran out of things to thank, but graciously accepted each award to the deafening screams of his fans.
A video message from Beyoncé played as she won International Artist of the Year, thanking “her fans in Britain for their continued support over the years.”
“That rock’n’roll, it just won’t go away,” announced Wet Leg, winners of the Best New Artist award.
