“Everything is love,” Beyonce said to camera before their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, could be heard making noise in the background.

Jess Glynne’s removal of makeup

Jess Glynne removed her makeup during a powerful performance at the Brit awards 2019, much to the joy of her fans.

Towards the end of the awards show, the singer took to the stage with a legion of women to perform her hit single “Thursday” and two-time Grammy award winner H.E.R.

During the performance, Glynne – who wore a strapless white dress for the occasion – removed her fake eyelashes and wiped off her eye makeup while singing the lyrics “I won’t wear makeup on Thursday / ‘Cause who I am is enough”.

Fans of the British star said it was the most powerful performance.

P!nk showstopping closing performance

After a massive 15 years away from The BRITs, Outstanding Contribution to Music winner P!nk closed the show with a simply incredible performance! Delighting fans with a medley of her hit songs, P!nk was joined by Dan from Bastille to sing ‘Just Give Me A Reason’, before belting out hits such as ‘Try’ and ‘What About Us’.
