Harry Styles fans go wild as star opens BRIT Awards with jaw-dropping performance

Harry Styles appeared to break the internet as he took to the stage to perform his hit As It Was at the BRIT Awards 2023.

The singer-songwriter returned to the UK following his victorious night at the Grammy Awards last week, where he bagged two gongs.

This year, the 29-year-old is up for four awards at the BRITs with experts predicting he'll be walking away with all four adding to his already massive collection.

He's going up against the likes of Fred Again..., Lewis Capaldi, Dua Lipa and Central Cee in the Mastercard Album of the Year, Artist of The Year, Song of The Year and Best Pop/R&B Act categories.

Ahead of his first award for Best Pop/R&B, Harry offered a stellar performance of his Number 1 hit As It Was, which saw him get up close and personal with his adoring fans.

But shortly after taking to the stage, fans of the cheeky Cheshire chap took to social media to share their joy, with one writing: "King Harry Styles. That's the tweet. #BRITs."

"The #BRITs did it better. Harry deserved the perfect performance he just had #HarryStyles," said a second.

While a third commented: "You absolutely smashed that performance H. Well done! #HarryStyles #BRITs."

"#BRITs harry styles was brilliant loved the energy of his performance," tweeted a fourth.

But other fans praised Harry for his choice of outfit, opting to showcase his chiselled chest as he went topless with just a sparkling blazer and tight-fitting trousers.

"#HarryStyles #BRITs Best Dressed, Best Performance. LIKE," exclaimed one.

While a second went on to say: "Only Harry Styles could pull off a crop top blazer #BRITs."

"Harry Styles is rocking that sequin red blazer #BRITs," commented another.

Ahead of his performance, Harry looked sensational as walked the red carpet wearing a glamorous black suit which included a large ruffled flower attached to a choker around his neck.

Last week, Harry won two Grammys including Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year, beating the likes of Beyoncé for the award.

Harry's victory saw his former One Direction bandmates Liam Payne and Niall Horan share messages of congratulations across their social media channels.

His awards victory comes after a string of sold-out Love On Tour shows across Los Angeles as well as shows across the UK.

While accepting Album of the Year, he said: "This doesn't happen to people like me very often and this is so, so nice."
