Introducing Sam to the stage for the Global Success award was American reality TV star Kim Kardashian - who Sam later revealed had, in his opinion, "the best outfit" he had ever seen.

Wearing a black crochet jumpsuit, Kim later told the crowd to "get on your feet" as her husband, Kanye West, performed during the ceremony.

American superstar Taylor Swift was also in the audience, and took home her first ever Brit award, for Best International Female Solo Artist.

Best British Male Solo Artist Ed Sheeran admitted that winning awards was not something he's used to

In her speech, 25-year-old Taylor thanked Ed Sheeran: "I wouldn't be up here without one of my best friends, who took me to pubs and taught me how to make a good cup of tea, and taught me everything I know about the UK.

"I love you Ed Sheeran. And I also want to thank my other British friends - Cara [Delevingne] and Ellie [Goulding] and Sam [Smith]. I'm very lucky to have them in my life."

The 2015 Brits were hosted by Ant and Dec, and included performances from Sam, Ed, Taylor, Paloma Faith, Take That, and Royal Blood.
