Ellie Goulding might not have the biggest United States following out there, but that’s slowly changing everyday.
MUSIC: Lupe Fiasco & Ellie Goulding “Lightwork”
It’s changing because for the last month, Ellie has been opening up for Katy Perry during the pop superstar’s California Dreams tour.

Ellie has performed five dates with Katy, and before her Madison Square Garden performance on November 26th, the British singer sat down with MTV to talk about her experience.
“It’s really nice to hear my songs in a stadium when they perhaps wouldn’t be at this point,” Goulding said. “It’s not often that I hear my songs so epically big and loud. I can pretend to be a rock star for a night!”
Not everything was all good for Ellie, however. The British singer talked about some of the fear she had performing for such a huge crowd.
“I genuinely had nightmares of just finishing a song and it being like [awkward clap],” she laughed. “But actually they were really up for it!”
Even though she was just opening up for Katy, Ellie didn’t forget to check out the superstar’s closing performance, saying that she “was just blown away by everything.”
Ellie’s debut album, Lights, was released last year in the United Kingdom and in March over here in the states.
