BRIT Awards 2025: All of the Performances

The 2025 BRIT Awards aired today (March 1) at London’s O2 Arena, hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall. The ceremony featured performances from Sabrina Carpenter, JADE, and The Last Dinner Party, with Teddy Swims, Myles Smith, Lola Young, Sam Fender, Ezra Collective and Jorja Smith also taking the stage. Though she did not perform, Charli XCX was far and away the night’s big winner, taking home five trophies in total: Song of the Year (for “Guess featuring Billie Eilish”), Best Dance Act, Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Album of the Year. Scroll down to watch footage of the performers.

Sabrina Carpenter

Notable non-Brit kicked Sabrina Carpenter kicked off the show, though you wouldn’t have been able to tell from her performance, which featured Buckingham Palace guards in formation and the whole stage lit up with Union Jack flags. After a mashup of “Espresso” with “Rule Britannia,” Carpenter momentarily vanished, then reappeared atop a heart-shaped platform in red, glittery lingerie for a boudoir-themed rendition of the Short n’ Sweet album track “Bed Chem.” Carpenter threw out some impressive vocal runs and began to suggestively flirt with one of the guards, who winked as the camera panned away. Later in the evening, she was presented with the BRITs Global Success award by Diana Ross.

Teddy Swims

Atlanta crooner Teddy Swims brought a surreal setup for his medley of recent hits, including white furniture covered in cartoon doodles, a leather-clad dancer with a lamb on her head, and a stuffed, life-size bear perched on a cloud above the band. Swims performed “Bad Dreams” in a cloak and collar that looked like a comforter and pillows, stripped down to a rhinestoned terrycloth robe for “The Doors,” and sat down at a piano to sing “Lose Control”—which he also performed at the 2025 Grammy Awards—as the stage caught fire.
