Harry Styles took home four prizes – including Artist of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year – at the 2023 BRIT Awards on Saturday night.
The former One Direction star was recognised for his chart-topping smash As It Was and accompanying album ‘Harry’s House’ at the ceremony, during which he also received the Best Pop/R&B Act honour.
While accepting the Artist of the Year accolade, Harry thanked his former bandmates – Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik – claiming he “wouldn’t be here” without them.
He also addressed the controversy over the lack of women nominated in the Artist of the Year category and dedicated the prize to Rina Sawayama, Florence Welch, Mabel, Charli XCX, and Becky Hill.
“I’m very aware of my privilege up here tonight so this award is for Rina, Charli, Florence, Mabel and Becky,” he shared.
Indie rockers Wet Leg took home two prizes, including Best New Artist and Group of the Year, while Beyoncé was crowned International Artist of the Year and also won International Song of the Year for Break My Soul. Irish rockers Fontaines D.C. were named International Group of the Year.
In the other genre categories, Aitch won the Grime/Hip-Hop prize, The 1975 landed Best Rock/Alternative Act, and Becky Hill took home the Dance gong for the second consecutive year.
David Guetta won the previously announced Producer of the Year prize, while Kid Harpoon was named Songwriter of the Year. FLO took home the Rising Star accolade.
