Little Mix at the BRITS
Since Little Mix were formed back in 2011 on the 'X Factor', they have stood up for women everywhere and have made sure that they have been able to get feminism in to their music. From songs like 'Salute' and 'Power' that are the ultimate girl power songs, to song 'Strip' that encourages women to learn to love and embrace their bodies. This year's BRIT awards saw Little Mix win 'Best British Video' for 'Woman Like Me' ft Nicki Minaj. They are the first Girl Band to win this award since 1998. The video that won the award for little mix has hidden messages in, for example one of the scenes sees the girls walk down a massive ruler, meaning a women's worth can be measured, another scene includes the girls stood on scales that represent equality.
P!nk's incredible performance at the BRITS
P!nk was honoured with the BRIT for 'Outstanding Contribution to Music' before giving a stunning 10 minute performance to close the show. Just like the hidden messages within 'Woman Like Me', during P!nks performance there was hidden messages. From the messages embodied into her leotard, to the newspaper print jacket worn at the end that had important headlines in that included, "Me Too", that refers to fighting sexual harassment against women. It also included "I'm With Her" which was Hilary Clinton's tagline when she was running for president against Donald Trump. Other headlines included "Choose Love not hate" and "Human Rights."
