Little Mix kicked off the 2017 BRIT Awards with a show-stopping performance of their hit single "Shout Out to My Ex". The show began as the girls appeared in the huge screen while screaming.
Dressed in matching silver and black ensembles, the foursome were carried in by thrones before they joined an army of silver-clad backing dancers on the stage. The girls then leaped into an energetic rendition of their chart-topping single while showing off their moves.
Katy Perry then stormed off the stage with a live performance of her newly-released single "Chained to the Rhythm". Performing along with her collaborator Skip Marley, Perry kept things high-energy as she navigated among her dancers, who hid inside tiny white houses that bobbed up and down along to the beat.
The "Firework" hitmaker also brought two giant skeleton puppets on the stage, which dressed like President Donald Trump and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Theresa May. At the end of her performance, she shared a hug with Marley shortly after fireworks shot off from the skeletons' hands.
Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars and Robbie Williams were among other musicians performing that night. The British heartthrob played his acoustic guitar alone before being joined onstage by Stormzy, who rapped a guest verse during "Shape of You". Donning a casual black tee, Sheeran also performed another cut off "Divide (Division sign)" album called "Castle on the Hill".
Mars brought down the house with a funky performance of "That's What I Like". Dressed in a vintage red-blue-and-green shirt, he performed a smooth rendition of the infectious song. Much like he did at the Grammys, he had time to "break it down" in the middle of the set. "Can we break it down?" he sang. "It's tradition now. This is the part, ladies, this is the part. It's tradition. This is the part in the song where we have to break it down. We've come a long way."
Williams closed the night with a medley of his smash hits. He took the stage alone as he sang the first lines of his "The Heavy Entertainment Show". As soon as the beat dropped, dozens of dancers in matching black bikinis quickly ran to the set and showed off some sexy moves. The 43-year-old singer then moved to "I Love My Life" before finishing his set with anthemic song "Mixed Signals" as the bikini-clad dancers re-entered the stage.
