BBG News

At the 2025 BRIT Awards, which took place at London’s O2 Arena on a Saturday evening, GK Barry made quite an impression.

In an eye-catching black sequined dress without straps, the 25-year-old star of I’m A Celebrity flaunted her stunning physique.

The stunning ensemble feature a daringly plunging neckline which was adorned with black feathers. 

In my own words, I accentuated my sleek silhouette by donning a pair of elegant black strappy heels and opted for understated sophistication with dainty gold jewelry pieces.

Grace Keeling, the presenter with the genuine name, gently smoothed her golden hair and chose a vibrant makeup palette for a glowing look.

At the glamorous, star-filled event, GK seemed full of energy and enthusiasm, striking numerous poses on the red carpet.

In 2025, the BRIT Awards will be hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall for the fifth time, as he has been the presenter of the event in the past years: 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Once more, the much-anticipated event, boasting an impressive lineup of stars, is set for London’s O2 Arena. This time around, the coveted trophy has been masterfully crafted by the gifted artist, Gabriel Moses.

The night will feature massive performances from Ezra Collective and special guest Jorja Smith.

A diverse group consisting of Jade Thirlwall, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Fender, Lola Young, Teddy Swims, and The Last Dinner Party have all been added to the impressive roster of performers who will be appearing.

Charli XCX will no longer be performing at the ceremony despite months of negotiations.

The source confides that the shift in her focus towards Grammys preparation, an event that recently occurred this month, seems to be the reason behind her recent decision.

In simple terms, the popular pop singer is ahead in the 2025 BRIT Awards nominations with five nominations, while Dua Lipa trails closely behind, receiving recognition in four different categories.

It was recently announced that Charli will receive the coveted Songwriter Of The Year prize.

32-year-old Charli XCX created history when her album “Brat” turned into a cultural sensation during the summer, simultaneously popularizing the color slime green. This was evident as countless fans expressed their admiration by sharing videos of Charli’s Apple Dance on TikTok.

Now, Charli’s Brat Summer continues to thrive, as she has been nominated across a remarkable five distinguished categories: Song of the Year (Guess featuring Billie Eilish), Artist of the Year, Dance Act, Pop Act, and Album of the Year, which is highly coveted.

29-year-old Dua, who has previously won seven BRIT awards, has been nominated for an additional four categories. She’s competing against Charli in the Song of the Year category with her hit “Training Season,” as well as Artist of the Year, Pop Act, and Album of the Year for “Radical Optimism.

35-year-old American music sensation Taylor Swift is set to compete against Billie Eilish, along with Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, in the category of International Artist Of The Year. Additionally, she is also nominated for International Song Of The Year award.

For the very first time, the recipients of five distinct genres’ awards – Alternative/Rock Category, Dance Category, Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Category, Pop Category, and R&B Category – will be chosen solely by public votes cast via WhatsApp.

For the very first time, Jade Thirlwall has received a nomination as a standalone artist, having previously triumphed with the band Little Mix in earning three awards together.

At age 32, the artist gained acclaim in both the Pop Act and Song of the Year categories. This recognition came after she penned her smash hit “Angel of My Dreams,” which is when she truly defined her unique musical identity.

As the announcements were made, she expressed her feelings by saying, “Of course, our band has been nominated several times before, which is fantastic. But when recognition comes for songs that reflect us as a group and my individual life experiences, it carries a unique resonance; it feels extraordinarily meaningful.

Initially, as I embarked on my solo venture, I composed numerous pieces of music to establish an identity distinct from the group and discover who I truly am independently. However, the moment I penned ‘Angel Of My Dreams’, that was when I realized I had found my footing, and this is my unique sound – this is me at my core.

In simple terms, the innovative jazz quintet Ezra Collective garnered four nominations in various categories following their 2023 Mercury Prize win. These nominations included Best New Artist, Group of the Year, Alternative Rock Act, and Album of the Year for their album Dance, No One’s Watching.

The primary rivalry they face is with The Last Dinner Party, who are also nominated in the categories of Best New Artist, Group Of The Year, Alternative Rock Act, and Album Of The Year.

This year’s BRIT Awards have a strong representation of British rap thanks to the global successes of artists like Central Cee, Stormzy, and Dave.

Central Cee’s songs have received nominations in several categories such as Song of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act. On the other hand, Stormzy has only been nominated for the Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act category.

One more strong candidate is Myles Smith, boasting four nominations altogether, including the Rising Star award that he recently claimed victoriously last month.

His song “Stargazing,” that boasts more than 600 million plays, is nominated for Song of the Year. Remarkably, this will be his first time attending the BRIT Awards in March, as stated by the artist himself.

He expressed: “I watched it on TV last year, and being there this year is incredibly exciting for me. Since it falls right in the midst of my current tour, my thoughts are scattered, but I’ll find a way to make it work.

42 years since their last BRIT Awards recognition, The Beatles have stunned with a surprising nomination.

45 years ago, a song titled Now and Then, penned by the late John Lennon, has been selected as a contender for the prestigious Song of the Year award.

2023 saw me absolutely thrilled when my beloved band’s music got a digital upgrade! It skyrocketed to the top of the UK Singles Chart, a feat that left me ecstatic. Not only did it claim the No.1 spot, but it also shattered records, such as the longest span between their first and last number one hits. I simply can’t contain my excitement!
