The Brits have scrapped gendered categories for the 2022 awards ceremony and they have been replaced by gender-neutral gongs.

This year's nominations feature the most women artists in more than a decade, with 18 female or all-women groups up for awards.

In 2000 and 2001, 18 female acts were also nominated.

Alongside Adele, Ed Sheeran, Little Simz, Dave and Sam Fender who are all up for artist of the year, there are many who are up for the other awards.

Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, and Lil Nas X are up for two awards and they will battle it out against Taylor Swift for International Artist of the Year.

The 'Easy on Me' singer announced the news on February 1 via her Instagram page as she said: 'I'm really happy to say that I am performing at the Brits next week! And I'll also be popping in to see Graham for a chat on the couch while I'm in town too! I'm looking forward to it.'

American popstar Doja Cat was scheduled to appear but had to pull out of her performance as one of her crew members tested positive for Covid-19.
