    9. Ellie Goulding married her husband Caspar Jopling at York Minster on 31 August 2019. She gave birth to her first child in May 2021. Prior to marrying Jopling the singer had been in high profile relationships with a variety of stars.

    10. She is ambidextrous. If you don’t know what that means: she can use her left and rights equally well.

    11. She fell off a segway and her fans will never let her forget it. It really didn’t help when 20 people were there to capture the exact moment. It’s been 8+ years since the incident in Miami and fans still bring it up to this day.

    12. She has contributed to the soundtracks of some of the biggest movie franchises in the business. She has recorded hits for The Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games, Divergent and Fifty Shades franchises.

    13. To date she has released 5 studio albums: Lights (2010), Halcyon (2012), Delirium (2015), Brightest Blue (2020) and Higher Than Heaven (2023).

    14, Her song, “Burn” was written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and produced by Greg Kurstin. It was originally written for the British girl group, Leona Lewis, but was ultimately given to her. The song was a commercial success, reaching the number one spot on the UK Singles Chart and staying there for three consecutive weeks. It has been certified platinum in several countries, including the UK, Australia, and the United States.

    15. Her 2015 song “Love Me Like You Do” was written by Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Ali Payami, and Tove Lo. The lyrics of the song describe a passionate and intense love, and have been described as sensual and romantic.

    16. Her latest album (Higher Than Heaven) was released on the 7th of April 2023 and three singles have already been released from it: “Easy Lover”, “Let It Die” and “Like A Saviour”.

    17. The easiest way to describe the premise behind Ellie Goulding’s “Easy Lover” is as it being centered on a female who has fallen in love with a guy whom she already knew beforehand is a playa. This would be the “easy lover” referred to in the title. Actually, the word transient would have probably been a more-ample adjective to describe him.

    18. Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding reunited in July 2024 to record the track “Free”. It’s a track perfectly crafted for the dance floor, and it arrives just as the dog days of summer heat up and revelers around the world are working up a sweat to some music.
