  • Calvin Harris Celebrates ‘Beautiful Girlfriend’ Taylor Swift’s Grammy Awards In Adorable Instagram Post

    Calvin Harris celebrated girlfriend Taylor Swift’s Grammy Award for Album of the Year, as well as two other awards, with an adorable photo posted to Instagram.

    “Congratulations to my beautiful girlfriend,” he captioned the shot.

    Swift also posted several photos from her night on Twitter. In one shot, the star is pictured looking down lovingly at her her three Grammy awards. Several others were posted of her partying the night away with her gal pals, including Ellie Goulding, Lorde, Fifth Harmony’s Camila Cabelo, and her brother Austin.

    Taylor Swift walked away with Album of the Year (1989), Best Pop Vocal Album (1989) and Best Music Video (“Bad Blood” feat. Kendrick Lamar).

    Swift’s acceptance speech for Album of the Year, where she promoted girl power and slammed Kanye West who recently put Swift in his new song “Famous,” where he raps, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous,” was perhaps the most memorable of the evening.

    “And as the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame,” she said.

    “But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment.”

    While Selena Gomez served as Swift’s date for the big night, Harris reportedly linked up with his girlfriend and her posse later that night.

    At the Republic Records after party held at Hyde in Los Angeles, Harris and Swift — who have been dating for nearly a year – was seen in some sexy PDA moments.

    “She was sitting on his lap and they were super affectionate,” onlooker told People magazine. “There was a mob of people around them.”

  • Ellie Goulding Had a Terrifying Moment on a Frozen Lake in Norway

    Ellie Goulding wants to share some advice – don’t drive a BV206 over a frozen lake.

    Goulding and photographer Conor McDonnell survived what was no doubt a terrifying experience in Norway recently.

    According to McDonnell’s account on Instagram, the two were traveling in an all-terrain vehicle when it plunged through ice into a frozen lake.

    “So me and @elliegoulding weren’t going to post about this but we decided that it’s too mad of a story not to tell,” he wrote.

    “This photo is from when we were in Norway a few weeks ago – That moment when you’re in -25 in the middle of nowhere in Norway in the pitch black and your belt wagon crashes through the ice in the middle of a lake and you have to emergency evacuate through the roof.”

    “‘Oh shit we’re in’ was my first thought. Second was to take photos. We were in the front cabin. That is pretty much under water in this photo. A few minutes later it was all completely gone under the water and ice for good.”

    Scary stuff.

    Goudling shared the same photo herself, saying,

    “Throwback to a few weeks ago when myself and @conormcdphoto nearly ended up in a lake in -30… Note to self don’t drive a BV206 over a frozen lake.”

    Goulding is currently touring Europe.

  • Ellie Goulding: People Say Singer and Boyfriend Dougie Poynter Look Like Siblings

    Ellie Goulding shared an unusual tidbit of information about her boyfriend Dougie Poynter–or rather, she shared a similarity the two share.

    It seems the singer and her boyfriend look like siblings, but she doesn’t seem bothered by it at all.

    “We dress kind of similar. Dougie’s always like, ‘We can’t both wear this shirt!’ But I like it,” Ellie Goulding says in the February issue of Glamour magazine.

    The similarities go way beyond their modes of dress.

    “People always say we look like brother and sister. Even our family members say it,” Ellie Goulding, 29, says. “It’s quite weird.”

    Goulding and Poynter share a background in the music business, too.

    “Dougie and I have such different musical worlds, but he understands when I’ve had a tough rehearsal or tough couple of days traveling. I don’t like to rely on him to get me through everything, though. I’m an independent person–I do like to take care of things myself. It’s important to figure out ways of keeping your own Zen,” Goulding shares.

    “Relationships have their ups and downs. And sometimes, yeah, I want to be left alone. Dougie is respectful of that,” she adds.

    Unless Dougie–bassist for the band McFly–and Ellie somehow discover they are long lost siblings, they will likely tie the knot one day in the future.

    “He is definitely the one forever. He’s been through a lot, and he has a quiet depth that I love,” the “Something in the Way You Move” singer told ELLE U.K. last year. “And you know what, when I was a teenager, I fancied him, but I thought he was out of my league. Way too good-looking for me.”

    Oh, the irony…

    Ellie Goulding and Dougie Poynter really do resemble each other–physically, anyway. Might you have thought they were brother and sister if you weren’t told otherwise?

  • Ellie Goulding Accused of Lip-Syncing, Swears She Didn’t Do It

    Ellie Goulding was accused of lip-syncing after an audio glitch fouled things up for her at her Australian Football League Grand Final performance on Saturday.

    It was while she was onstage that two of Ellie Goulding’s hit songs began to play at the same time. Goulding and her band waited things out as “Love Me Like You Do” and “Burn” played together–followed by silence. Then the singer and her band began performing “Love Me Like You Do.”

    It was via Twitter that some people in the stands accused Ellie Goulding of lip-synching. She replied using the social media site.

    Ellie Goulding also retweeted some positive comments made by fans.

    She also lauded those fans who know her so well.

    Do you think Ellie Goulding got caught in a Milli Vanilli-type situation at the Australian Football League Grand Final this weekend or is she being completely upfront when she says a technical glitch caused her momentary silence while on stage?

  • Nicole Scherzinger, Ed Sheeran: Singers Not Dating Each Other

    Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls and “Thinking Out Loud” and “A Team” singer Ed Sheeran are rumored to be dating. Sources say that’s not the case.

    In fact, a rep for Nicole Scherzinger confirmed that the two are nothing more than good friends.

    Ever since Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton split in February, nearly everyone the singer has been spotted with has been deemed her new love interest.

    It was The Sun that started the rumor about Nicole dating Ed Sheeran.

    It’s likely that the rumor started because Ed Sheeran and Nicole Scherzinger have spent some time hanging out together recently. Since each has appeared during the other’s recent shows, that has no doubt fueled the rumor fire.

    Ed Sheeran was recently rumored to be in a relationship with Ellie Goulding–a rumor that both of them denied.

    It seems if singers hang out with someone more than once, they must be in love.

    Niole Scherzinger recently appeared on the NBC summer show I Can Do That, where she competed in a variety of performances from double dutch jump roping to performing with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

    Nicole Scherzinger can do a lot of things–but one thing she isn’t doing is dating Ed Sheeran.

    Do you think Ed Sheeran and Nicole Scherzinger would make a good couple?

  • Ellie Goulding Slams Rumors That She Cheated On Ed Sheerhan, Says They Never Even Dated

    Ellie Goulding has, once and for all, put to rest the rumors that she cheated on Ed Sheerhan with Niall Horan.

    Ed Sheerhan’s song, “Don’t”, was rumored to be about just such a situation with Ellie Goulding.

    But the truth is, Ellie Goulding never even dated Ed Sheerhan.

    Ellie Goulding explained, “I did go on a few dates with Niall, but I was never in a relationship with Ed. I have absolutely no idea where that came from and why it was turned into such a big thing.”

    Ed Sheerhan thinks he knows where the rumor came from. When asked by Entertainment Weekly if he regretted letting it slip that the song was about Ellie Goulding, he tried to set the record straight.

    He said, “I never let it slip. What happened was one of the newspapers in England just printed that it was confirmed when it never was.”

    He added, “We got in touch, and they took the story down. But obviously the damage had already been done by that point because every other newspaper picked up on it. So I never actually confirmed it.”

    Ellie Goulding isn’t just upset about this one rampant misconception. She’s irritated that women in music are so often defined by who they date.

    She said, “I find it so frustrating that female musicians are constantly defined by the men they have or haven’t dated. It’s something I’ve talked about with Taylor [Swift] a lot. She definitely feels that. She gets bothered by it.”

    She added, “It’s like, you can be a great artist, you can write great songs, but the thing that everyone is going to talk about is some relationship they think you have had or not had. It’s definitely something we both think happens to female artists over male artists.”

    Do you think Ellie Goulding is right about women musicians being defined by who they date?

  • Ellie Goulding Neither Dated Nor Cheated On Ed Sheeran

    Ellie Goulding has been the subject of some rumors involving Ed Sheeran recently. Those rumors say she both dated and cheated on the ‘Thinking Out Loud’ singer. Even worse, she reportedly cheated on Ed Sheeran with One Direction’s Niall Horan.

    In the July issue of Elle UK, Ellie Goulding says the rumors aren’t true.

    “I did go on a few dates with Niall, but I was never in a relationship with Ed,” she explains. “I have absolutely no idea where that came from and why it was turned into such a big thing.

    Ellie Goulding went on to blast the double standard within the music world of women being defined for those they are seen with or dating. She and Taylor Swift apparently discussed the topic quite recently.

    “I find it so frustrating that female musicians are constantly defined by the men they have or haven’t dated. It’s something I’ve talked about with Taylor a lot. She definitely feels that. She gets bothered by it,” Goulding said.

    “It’s like, you can be a great artist, you can write great songs, but the thing that everyone is going to talk about is some relationship they think you have had or not had. It’s definitely something we both think happens to female artists over male artists.’”

    Ed Sheeran recently negated the rumors, too, when asked if his song, ‘Don’t,’ was inspired by Ellie Goulding having cheated on him with Niall Horan. He was asked, in fact, if he regretted letting that little tidbit of information slip during a prior interview.

    “I never let it slip. What happened was one of the newspapers in England just printed that it was confirmed when it never was,” Ed Sheeran said. “We got in touch, and they took the story down. But obviously the damage had already been done by that point because every other newspaper picked up on it. So I never actually confirmed it.”

    Ellie Goulding, known for hits like ‘Love Me Like You Do,’ is happily dating Dougie Poynter these days.

    Had you heard those rumors about Ellie Goulding and Ed Sheeran? Are you glad the record has now been set straight–by both parties?

  • Ellie Goulding Sports Muscles At Met Gala

    Ellie Goulding, 28-year-old UK pop star, recently showed off her muscles at the Met Gala in New York, saying that exercising made her feel stronger.

    “I’m not afraid of a guy saying to me that I’m strong,” Ellie Goulding said. “And I will happily post pictures of my muscles on Instagram – because I’m proud of being a strong girl.”

    Ellie Goulding’s musician boyfriend, Dougie Poynter of McBusted fame, and other band members often accompany her to the gym.

    “Training with him and the other guys is fun – it’s not hard,” Ellie Goulding said.

    “Harry (Judd) is actually really good. I won’t say ‘big’ because his head will swell but he’s an inspiration because he trains really hard.

    “And so we will often all go to the gym together and a couple of the other girls – the wives – will come down as well and it’s great because my band don’t bloody train. It’s actually nice being with guys who train so much.”

    Working out not only helps her physically but also mentally and emotionally.

    “I Instagram and I tweet and I perform in whatever I want and if you accept that you’re always going to get negativity then you can overcome it. So when you see a nasty comment, you don’t think, ‘That’s not fair’. It just kind of turns into a blur…I feel strong.”

    Poynter also helps Ellie Goulding overcome obstacles of fame.

    “When I’m with him, I’m just his girlfriend, nothing else,” Goulding said. “He’s been doing this much longer – which is a first for me. We can have a really healthy understanding of what we do, but we’re not too into it. There’s no ego or anything like that.”

    Ellie Goulding will soon get more chances to show off those muscles when she appears in Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” video wearing a fitted leather jacket with a low zipper. Known as Destructa X, she is seen in a promo picture on Instagram holding a large bazooka on her shoulder with the tagline “Band-Aids don’t fix bullet holes.”

  • Ellie Goulding Gets A Smokin’ Poster For Taylor Swift’s New Video

    Ellie Goulding is one of several stars making an appearance in Taylor Swift’s upcoming music video, and if the teaser posters can be believed, it’s going to be one hell of a ride.

    Goulding joins Lily Aldridge, Zendaya, Hayley Williams, and Swift herself in a series of faux movie posters that show each woman in badass gear, ready to hold their own. Goulding, who goes by the name Destructa X for the video, wears a tight black leather jacket in her photo and brandishes a massive gun over her head. According to Swift, each woman featured in the project chose her own persona.

    The video–for Swift’s song “Bad Blood”–won’t premiere until May 17, but the posters have already made their way around the web and are pumping up her fans for what’s to come.

    Goulding made headlines recently when she spoke about what it means to be a “strong girl” and how the negativity that can come with being in the public eye only makes her stronger.

    “I’m not afraid of a guy saying to me that I’m strong. And I will happily post pictures of my muscles on Instagram – because I’m proud of being a strong girl. I Instagram and I tweet and I perform in whatever I want and if you accept that you’re always going to get negativity then you can overcome it. So when you see a nasty comment, you don’t think, ‘That’s not fair’. It just kind of turns into a blur…I feel strong,” Goulding said.

  • Ellie Goulding: Not Engaged and Working with Drake

    Ellie Goulding is not engaged to boyfriend Dougie Poynter. Instead, Goulding puts it all into her music.

    Fan frenzies ignite when female celebrities wear rings on their ring finger. People begin to speculate about their upcoming weddings. Usually, the celebrity immediately starts their “I’m not engaged” press tour. Goulding is the latest one to stop rumors about her engagement.

    McBusted member Poynter and Goulding confirmed their relationship in May. The two seem completely in love, but they’re not planning a wedding just yet.

    Photos showed Goulding sporting a sparkly gold ring on her ring finger. Fans speculated that she was engaged to Poynter. He officially confirmed that they were not engaged when talking to Mirror.

    “No. It was just a ring that fit on that finger,” Poynter revealed. He then added, “It didn’t really look like an engagement ring though, did it?”

    His bandmate, Harry Judd, then jumped in to add, “That would have been a lame engagement ring Doug.” Goulding and Poynter are definitely not engaged, but Mirror believes that they might become it soon.

    They quoted a source from LOOK magazine who claimed that “If Dougie was to ask, I’m almost certain Ellie’s answer would be yes. Dougie’s seen all of his friends get married and he’d surely love to do the same, for both of them it seems they’ve found ‘the one’.”

    A photo posted by Dougie Poynter (@idougahole) on

    If Poynter does decide to pop the question, the wedding may have to wait until Goulding finishes her next album. She told Digital Spy at The Royal Variety Performance that “the only big thing coming up for me now is my third album, which won’t be out until next year. Everything is going into that.”

    Goulding recently worked with Drake and Calvin Harris. Drake sampled her song “Don’t Say a Word” from her second album Halcyon for his track “Pound Cake.” This gesture started a mutual admiration. Goulding revealed that she’s “done some stuff” for Drake’s new album. She may add vocals to another one of his tracks.

    Harris and Goulding recently released the video for “Outside,” their latest collaboration.

    Maybe Drake and Harris can lend their musical talents to her album as well.

  • Ellie Goulding Joining ‘X Factor’?

    Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole make their return to The X Factor UK for its eleventh season. Their decision to rejoin the series, after extended hiatuses, have many fans wondering who will accompany them on the judging panel.

    Though not yet confirmed, Louis Walsh is, probably, a sure bet to return to X Factor as the third judge. This leaves one judging spot vacant. Last week, X Factor fans may have gotten an early spoiler on who will fill this seat. When talking to The Sun on Sunday, Walsh revealed that he heard Ellie Gouldng might be the new judge.

    “I’ve heard Ellie Goulding. I just hope it’s a girl,” Walsh told The Sun.

    A source working on The X Factor quickly shot down this rumor. The source said that there are “a lot of people being discussed.” They also said that Walsh “isn’t involved in finding the fourth judge.”

    To further disprove this rumor, Goulding’s tour schedule makes it very difficult for her to be an X Factor judge. She tours the US in April, with her tour extending to such places as Australia, Canada, Singapore, and Spain; she ends her tour in August in the UK. X Factor’s 2014 season will likely air at the end of August or early September, but the judges may start the auditions in April. Another rumored, possible judge is Fergie. When Unreality TV asked Walsh who he preferred to see as the new judge, between Fergie and Goulding, he responded, “Ellie, without a doubt.”

    When not being tied to X Factor rumors, Goulding is releasing videos. This week she unveiled the new video for her single, “Beating Heart.” “Beating Heart” appears on the soundtrack for the movie Divergent. She told MTV that the song “is about reuniting with the ones you love against all odds…’Beating Heart’ is about being away from someone or knowing that you’re always going to have to be apart from someone that you really love.” Goulding also added, “Like the universe will bring them back together. I think the song is basically that. Sort of relying on the fact that if you’re meant to be drawn back together you will be.”

    In the video for “Beating Heart,” Goulding channels the movie and book series main heroine Tris, along with showing clips from the movie Divergent.

    Goulding’s next tour stop is Lollapalooza in Buenos Aires on April 2nd.

  • Taylor Swift Cuts Off Signature Long Locks [PHOTO]

    When it comes to a celebrity’s clothes or hairstyle, there are tons of people around the world that either pay close attention or decide to mimic whatever style that person is using. I mean, remember the whole Jennifer Aniston haircut thing in the 90’s? It seemed that women form coast-to-coast wanted that particular hairstyle called the “Rachel.”

    And in 2014, nothing has changed, because if a singer or actor, for example, cuts their hair and goes with a new look, there’s a good chance that look will be imitated to the tenth-degree, as some folks don’t really care about having a style of their own–they just want to attach themselves to the latest trend.

    So it’ll be interesting to see if Taylor Swift’s new haircut will cause people to head to their hairdresser and change their look.

    Because while on the European leg of her Red Tour, the 24-year old chopped off her famous long locks for a much shorter look, and replaced the blonde dye for a reddish-brown color. Taylor posted a photo of her new do standing next to fellow pop star Ellie Goulding, who’s become huge in the UK off of her new single “Burn.”

    “London, I could never thank you enough,” wrote Taylor alongside the photo. “See you next time! PS: Short hair, don’t care.”

    When it comes to giving others fashion advice, Swift says the best thing to do is keep it simple and try not to follow too many trends. That way, you won’t see a photo of yourself years from now and say ‘what on earth was I thinking.’

    “I think the best option for what to wear is something that won’t make you cringe in 20 years, like passing trends,” she said in an interview with Yahoo.

    “When everybody’s wearing neon, I’m not. When everybody’s got spikes on everything, I’m not doing that. When everybody’s trying to look tough, I’m not. When you ignore fads and just wear what you like that’s classic and simple, I think that’s the way to go for longevity as far as style is concerned.”

  • Ellie Goulding Praises Prince William and Kate Middleton

    It has been quite a while since the Royal Couple has been in the spotlight, especially since their new-born son George has been baptized; however, in a recent interview with Ellie Goulding, the Royal Couple has been praised highly.

    Ellie Goulding, the 27-year-old UK singer and songwriter, known for her top hit songs “Lights” and “Anything Could Happen,” recently told Marie Claire Magazine what it was like participating in Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding. Goulding performed a cover of Elton John’s “Your Song” at the reception of the Royal Couple’s wedding.

    Goulding told Marie Claire that she knew about her role in the wedding far in advance, but did not tell anyone. Goulding’s reaction was:

    “In the weeks before, everyone I know was talking about the wedding, and I was sat like [puts knuckles in her mouth], trying not to say anything, I kept it to myself for so long – but no one would have believed me anyway.”

    Goulding also discussed the Royal Couple as well as the wedding itself, stating “They’re just a really awesome couple, lovely people, so I understand why people are fascinated by them.” During the Royal Couple’s wedding, Goulding was able to interact with the couple and stated that she spoke with the Duchess of Cambridge “quite a bit” throughout the reception.

    Marie Claire also recently published Nine Moments That Put Ellie Goulding On The Map. One of the moments included within the Marie Claire article was her involvement with Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding. Other moments include: the John Lewis advert, her roller-coaster love life, performing at “Chime For Change,” and her “Children In Need” single.

    Goulding concluded her remarks about the Royal Couple’s wedding by stating “It was a really beautiful night — but then, I haven’t been to many weddings.”

  • Ellie Goulding Was Dating Ed Sheeran, Despite Twitter Denial

    Ellie Goulding may have denied rumors that she and singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran were dating after they were caught holding hands at the VMAs, but Sheeran recently confirmed that they were an item…and now they’re not.

    “‘I love that holding hands with my friends means we’re an item,” Goulding wrote. “In that case I am in many relationships. Lover not a hater. #whatthef–k.”

    Sheeran, however, had a different story on September 4 when he did a radio interview in Washington, saying, “I mean, normal people don’t hold hands if they’re just friends. It was going on. And now it’s not.”

    Sheeran says he has total respect for Goulding, whose single “Burn” has topped the charts in the U.K. for three solid weeks.

    “She’s a really cool girl and she’s very talented,” he said. “She’s had a No. 1 single for three weeks in England now. It’s all going well.”

    Sheeran is enjoying success of his own; the young Englishman released his own album in 2011 before exploding onto the London scene and attracting the attention of Elton John; now, he has fans all over the world, has an award-winning album that went quintuple platinum in the U.K., and has written songs for the likes of Taylor Swift and One Direction.

  • Taylor Swift Brings Out Surprise Duet Guest

    Taylor Swift is country music’s “it girl” and seemingly making her way around to each genre. She’s collaborated with tons of big names in the music industry (spanning genres mind you) from guitarist, John Mayer to the “You’re So Vain,” Carly Simon. And recently on her, “Red” tour, the country superstar has been pulling out all the stops, surprising audiences with guest treats.

    But last night at the Staple Center in Los Angeles, the sensational Swift did it again, rocking out at her concert and giving her energetically, eager audience a little something extra to scream about.

    “We have a wonderful, incredible, insanely talented, incredibly cool artist about to come out on stage to sing for you,” Taylor teased. “She’s not from around here. She’s actually from the U.K.,” said Swift before the English star appeared at the top of a large staircase with a blown up picture of her lit up on the screen directly behind her.

    The Staples Center went absolutely wild, surely booming with hopeful anticipation that the hit song that’s ventured it’s way to nearly every commercial and radio station would boom from the lips of Ellie Goulding.

    Sure enough, “Anything Could Happen” was the chosen song. Goulding started with the first chorus while Swift followed with the second. Swift was beaming with “fan girl” enthusiasm as her slender arm draped happily over Goulding’s shoulder. Swift then instantly flipped on more of her stage charm, beaming with confidence as she shook her hips from side to side with the beat of the song.

    Apparently both parties had a ball performing last night, because Goulding Instagrammed a photo of her and Swift’s performance with the caption, “So.much.fun. Love that girl.
