Madonna wore a cape and got dragged off the stage by a dancer……..
Now that is out the way, did you watch the Brits last night? I did, and I thought it was pretty good. I liked the performances from Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Paloma Faith. Kanye West brought more controversy, sort of…Most of his song was muted out with AUDIO MUTE being displayed on his performance most of the way through. Ant and Dec were presenting, and a lot of the time seemed to trip over themselves which I thought was odd considering they’ve been a double act forever! (a duo, a two-some, so many lyrics they’re frightened to use ’em).
Ed Sheeran won the two big awards, British Album and British Male Solo Artist, with Sam Smith winning two of his own, British Breakthrough Act and Global Success Award. Check out the full list of winners below.
