The Brit Awards 2024 made history with pop star Raye winning an astonishing six trophies, including best artist, best song, and album of the year. The overwhelmed 26-year-old couldn’t believe her success, asking, “What is even happening?” backstage.
Raye’s record-breaking haul is even more impressive considering her struggles in the music industry just two years ago. She fought for her freedom from a record label that didn’t believe in her and went independent in 2022. Since then, her career has skyrocketed, with her song “Escapism” becoming a massive hit and winning song of the year at the Brit Awards.
But the night wasn’t just about Raye. The international artist category saw a surprise upset with SZA winning over Taylor Swift. Charli XCX’s impractical outfit and Ella Henderson’s extravagant hat added some flair to the event. Joe Keery, known for his role in Stranger Things, surprised everyone with a top 10 single in the UK.
Kylie Minogue stole the show with a career-spanning medley of hits and won the Brits’ Global Icon Award. The audience, however, seemed less enthusiastic, with many viewers noting the lackluster atmosphere at the O2 Arena.
Overall, the Brit Awards 2024 was a night to remember, with both triumphs and surprises making it a memorable event in music history.
