Brit Awards 2025: A Night of Triumph and Spectacle
The 2025 Brit Awards, held at London’s O2 Arena, was nothing short of iconic—a night filled with jaw-dropping performances, heartfelt speeches, and historic victories. One of the standout moments came from JADE, formerly of Little Mix, who delivered a show-stopping performance and took home the Best Pop Act award, solidifying her solo success.
JADE’s Historic Win & Electrifying Performance
JADE made history, becoming the first former girl band member to win a solo Brit Award. Clinching the Best Pop Act title against tough competition, she delivered an emotional acceptance speech, thanking her Little Mix bandmates, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, for their unwavering support.
Her performance of “Angel of My Dreams” was pure spectacle—a theatrical masterpiece filled with multiple outfit changes (six in total!), striking visuals, and flawless vocals.
