"I'm way too excited about it I need to calm down," said Taylor after stepping off stage. "I'm so happy, it's been the most amazing slow build with my love affair with England and the UK, starting out playing King's College and ending up eight years later getting ready to play sold out Hyde Park is like, 'What?' So this first BRIT Award couldn't have come at a better time, I'm so happy - honestly, it's amazing."
