The BRIT Awards (often simply called the BRITs) are the British Phonographic Industry's annual popular music awards. The name was originally a shortened form of "British", "Britain", or "Britannia" (in the early days the awards were sponsored by Britannia Music Club), but subsequently became a backronym for British Record Industry Trusts Show.
Kylie has performed at the show several times, as well as appearing to present awards and even hosting.

Performance[]
Kylie performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head"; this was mashed up with New Order's "Blue Monday", and saw Kylie arrive on stage on a giant CD with her name emblazoned on it. The performance was choreographed by Rafael Bonachela, featuring dancers in robotic silver outfits, and Kylie wearing Dolce and Gabbana. The performance went on to become one of Kylie's most iconic performances, and one of the most memorable performance in BRITs history.
Following the performance, many DJs around the world set out to create a bootleg of the mashup; it wasn't until the release of "Love at First Sight" that an official version was released, when "Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head" appeared as one of the B-sides.
