Olivia Dean is set to perform at the Brit Awards after the UK pop star blew up this year with her hit No 1 album.
The songstress, 26, became the first woman to claim the UK’s No 1 single and album in the same week since Adele in 2021, with her song Man I Need and album The Art Of Loving.
Her popularity also took off across the pond, with her album spending 11 weeks in the US’s Billboard 200 Top Ten.
Now, after being nominated in three categories for last year’s ceremony, Olivia could be set to grace the 2026 stage in February.
A source told The Sun: ‘Olivia is one of the big British artists the Brits is hoping to secure for the ceremony.

‘She has had such an incredible run with her last album. She has really broken through and it’s expected that she is going to be one of the big winners on the night.
‘She is expected to be named in all the big categories – and if they can also get her to agree to a performance, it would be fantastic.’
Daily Mail have contacted Olivia’s representatives for comment.
The star began writing songs at the tender age of 16, and taught herself to play guitar and piano.
Olivia attended the Brit School for Performing Arts and Technology and has been nominated for Best New Artist in the Grammys.
The prodigious talent released her debut single Reason To Stay in 2018, and dropped two EPs in 2019 and 2020.
In 2021, she was named breakthrough artist of the year by Amazon Music and achieved a number 19 spot on the UK singles chart with her cover of Nat King Cole’s Christmas Song.
Aside from her musical endeavours, this songstress is branching out into the world of fashion and beauty as a brand ambassador for Chanel.

She has also been announced as the face of Burberry’s Her fragrance, with a campaign launching in 2026.
Olivia recently went public with her new relationship with drummer Eddie Burns.
She has been linked to the US musician, who plays drums for fellow singer Clairo since April, after she began liking several of his photos on Instagram.
They made their public debut as a couple in July, arriving for day 5 of Wimbledon hand-in-hand and cosying up for photos.
The couple also both performed onstage at BST in Hyde Park days later with Olivia and Clairo supporting headliner Sabrina Carpenter.
Olivia has been previously romantically linked to One Direction superstar Harry Styles, 31.
Speculation surrounding the pair began in August last year, after they were spotted grabbing a burger together at Five Guys in London – just two months after Harry split from Taylor Russell.
