Who shared the 2026 Song of the Year Brit Award with Sam Fender?

Olivia Dean shared the 2026 Song of the Year Brit Award with Sam Fender.

They won for “Rein Me In,” a collaboration that became one of the defining songs of the eligibility period. The award was presented jointly because both artists performed on and contributed to the winning recording.

The result formed part of Dean’s four-award sweep, which also included Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Pop Act. Fender was likewise a central figure at the ceremony, making the shared win one of the evening’s most notable pairings.

The category can cause confusion because Dean also had another Song of the Year nomination for “Man I Need.” However, the winning entry was specifically “Rein Me In,” credited to Sam Fender and Olivia Dean. The 2026 ceremony took place at Co-op Live in Manchester.
