Olivia Rodrigo is a very familiar name after her single "Drivers License" went pretty much viral — so much so that Saturday Night Live did a hilarious skit back in February that had even Rodrigo herself impressed.

Fast-forward to May, and Rodrigo's performed the chart-topping track at this year's BRIT Awards ceremony, sounding absolutely incredible. She took to the stage in a flowing red gown, with a stripped-back performance of the soothing single that featured a real-life harp player. That's right, an actual harp. Fans of Rodrigo were incredibly proud of her performance, especially since she received a whole host of cheers from the audience, made up entirely of key workers.

Other performers of the night included the likes of Arlo Parks, BRIT rising star Griff, The Weeknd, Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Headie One, and a special performance by Rag 'n' Bone Man and P!nk, featuring the NHS Greenwich choir.
