Meanwhile, as well as performing for the A-list crowd, Sabrina took home the BRITs Global Success award.
The prestigious award has previously been presented to One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Adele and Sam Smith.
The BRITs Global Success award identifies an artist with phenomenal global sales and Sabrina becomes the first international artist to receive it following a decision by the BRITs Committee to open the award up to overseas artists.
Her win is in recognition of a truly incredible year in which she dominated global charts, including holding the #1 position in the Official UK Charts for a combined 21 weeks in 2024, the first artist to do so in 71 years.
On the Official UK Singles Chart, she became the first female artist ever to simultaneously occupy the top three spots with Taste, Please Please Please and ‘Espresso’.
