Charli XCX takes over the BRIT Awards 2025 in her ‘Brat’ way, by winning five significant categories including ‘Artist of the Year,’ ‘Album of the Year,’ ‘Song of the Year’ for Guess (ft. Billie Eilish), ‘Dance Act of the Year,’ and ‘Songwriter of the Year,’ which was announced earlier in the past week. The producer of the ‘Brat’ album, A. G. Cook won in his category, at London’s O2 Arena.
Charli managed to hard launch the ‘Brat’ album by redefining pop culture where ‘Brat Summer’ was trending on social media platforms, and many things were tagged as ‘Brat.’ During her speech for winning ‘Album of the Year,’ Charli stated, “I used to tell myself things like this weren’t important and that was easy for me to do because until last year I wasn’t nominated for anything. I always felt like an outsider… in the British music industry, so it feels nice to be recognized on this album when I actually haven’t made any sacrifices,” according to Billboards.
Meanwhile, the BRIT Awards 2025 was inaugurated with Sabrina Carpenter’s performance of her hits ‘Espresso’ and ‘Bed Chem,’ and she won an award for Global Success as well.
