It was the event the music industry had been longing for. On Tuesday night, the Brit Awards 2021 became the first large-scale live event to be held indoors in the UK since the coronavirus pandemic began in March last year. It was a history-making event in more ways than one, with female artists including Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Arlo Parks among the biggest winners of the night.
The importance of such an event was embodied perhaps most by the international presence of stars such as Swift, The Weeknd, HAIM and Billy Porter, who will have quarantined before being allowed to travel to the O2 Arena in London.
