Some of the biggest names in music - including Taylor Swift and Ellie Goulding - turned out for the Brit Awards in London on Wednesday night (February 25).
Kanye West's 'muted' performance and Madonna's stage fall were the major talking points from a ceremony which saw Ed Sheeran, Royal Blood and Sam Smith among those emerging victorious.
