Soulful London rapper Dave brought a political edge to the UK music industry's Brit Awards, giving a performance alleging racism in Britain's government and in media coverage of the royal family before he won the coveted album of the year prize.

Billie Eilish gave the first public performance of her James Bond theme song No Time to Die.
Lizzo got the audience worked up with her Grammy-winning anthem Truth Hurts."
