Mark 25 February 2015 in your diary: both Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran have been confirmed as performers at the Brit Awards 2015. Sam Smith, who won the 2014 BRIT Critics’ Choice Award, has also been named as part of the line-up.

With Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Lorde and Pharrell all appearing on stage at last year’s ceremony, we can’t wait to see if Swift, Sheeran and Smith can top the performances at the 2015 BRITs, which will be hosted by Ant and Dec.

A full list of nominations will be announced in the new year, but we do know that 24-year-old James Bay will receive the Tracey Emin-designed statuette as the 2015 Critics’ Choice winner.

The BRIT Awards 2015 will be held in London's O2 Arena on 25 February 2015.
