BRIT AWARDS 2015: COMPLETE WINNERS LIST, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran clear up during the ceremony but Madonna takes the spotlight

Other artists who picked up a gong include Paloma Faith, Taylor Swift and Pharrell Williams



Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith were the big winners at this year's Brit Awards.

The two artists stormed a number of categories during the ceremony held at the O2 Arena in London.

Ed, who won his first Brit Award in 2012, has now watched his trophy cabinet expand after tonight's festivities.

The A-team hitmaker nabbed the gong for British Album of the Year and Best Male Solo.

Sam, who performed at the event, also tasted the same level of success, and even got to receive an award from none other than Kim Kardashian.

The chart-topper took to the stage after nabbing the prize for Best Breakthrough and getting his hands on the BRITs Global Success Award.

But it wasn't Sam that Ant and Dec wanted to speak to. Instead they wanted a selfie with Kanye West's wife! She then had the job of introducing her husband to the stage for an expletive-ridden song.

Introducing her hubby, she said: “Everyone has to stand up and welcome my husband Kanye West.”

There was plenty of celebrating in the capital as Ed and Sam were joined on the winners board by several other artists.

Paloma Faith was praised as Best Female Solo while pop sensation Taylor Swift secured the gong for Best International Female, and opened the show with an amazing performance of her single Blank Space.

She would barely put down the mic as she read out a ream of thank yous as she picked up the coveted gong, which this year was designed by Tracey Emin.

Other victors include Mark Ronson who topped the Best British Single category for Uptown Funk, Pharrell Williams who was deemed Best International Male and Royal Blood who were named Best British Group.

But the night was totally eclipsed after Madonna took to the stage to perform her latest single from her new album Rebel Heart, Living For Love.

The 56-year-old, dressed in a dramatic Armani cape made quite the entrance with her backing dancers down the middle of London's 02 Arena.

After reaching the stage, Madonna came undone after falling off the stage when her cape was tied too tightly and she was literally pulled down a flight of stairs.
