Popstars have always been suckers for a bit of product placement - but this year seems to be worse than ever. First, Taylor Swift sang about Starbucks Lovers in 'Blank Space', and now Kanye West's started advertising Aldi at tonight's BRIT Awards.
Well, neither of those things are technically true, but that hasn't stopped people from making that mistake. When Kanye West repeatedly sang the refrain "All Day" during his BRITs performance earlier tonight, many confused Twitter users thought he was providing some free advertising for the supermarket chain Aldi.
He wasn't.
I think Kanye was singing about @AldiUK on the #BRITs2015 earlier!!! #Allday #Aldi
