LONDON -- British singer Dua Lipa called for a "fair" pay raise for U.K. health workers as she was named a double winner at the Brit Awards in London on Tuesday night.
Lipa, who took home the British female solo artist and album of the year titles, highlighted the words of nurse and academic Elizabeth Anionwu to say there was a "massive disparity between gratitude and respect" for those on the health front line. "I'm really proud to be part of this musical community especially in a year where we needed music so much," Swift said. "And what we needed even more was the help and support of the NHS and the key workers that are here for us tonight."
Female singer-songwriters Arlo Parks and Griff took home the British breakthrough artist and rising star awards respectively. Live performers at the ceremony, which was hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, included Lipa, Coldplay and a collaboration between Rag'n'Bone Man, P!nk and National Health Service choirs.
Attendees were not socially distanced or wearing face masks, but had to provide a negative coronavirus test ahead of the show.
