Receiving the first award of the evening for best British female solo artist, Dua Lipa thanked 'every single female that’s been on this stage before me that has given girls like me – not just in the music industry but in society – something to look up to, and has allowed us to dream this big. Here’s to more women on these stages, more women winning awards, and more women taking over the world.'
