The 2021 Brit Awards marked the return of big-time shows to the U.K ... and the world.
The show featured a crowd of unmasked but socially distanced essential workers and was the first event at London’s O2 Arena since last year - and resembled a normal-looking awards show.
The show opened with Coldplay performing their new single - Higher Power - on a barge in the middle of the River Thames - complete with fireworks and holograms
One of our new favorite artists - Arlo Parks - won one of the three awards she was nominated for - 2021 Breakthru artist.
The trio of American sisters, Haim, won for Best International Group
And in the most 2021 moment of the night - a Brit Awards Sea Shanty
