Carpenter will become only the fifth artist to collect the award on Saturday 1st March at the O2 Arena, with past recipients including One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Adele and Sam Smith, and will make history as the first international artist to win the award.

The award is in recognition of Carpenter’s hugely successful year in 2024, in which she became the first woman to simultaneously hold the top three spots of the UK singles chart with Taste, Please Please Please and Espresso.

In the US, the singer made history by becoming the first solo artist to have her first three top-five singles appear in the top five simultaneously.

Damian Christian, Chair of the BRIT Committee for 2025 said in a press release: “Congratulations to Sabrina on winning this prestigious award."

He continued: “Everyone involved in the show is looking forward to her performance, which promises to be one of the highlights of the night.”

Carpenter is also in the running for international artist of the year and international song of the year for Espresso.

Last month, the first round of performers set to grace the stage at this year’s ceremony were announced, including JADE, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims, The Last Dinner Party and Myles Smith.
