Ellie Goulding is nervous about singing at the Grammys: 'America is just a whole other game'

Ellie Goulding has said she is scared at the prospect of singing at the Grammy Awards – because “America is just a whole other game”.

The British singer will perform alongside some of the biggest music stars in the world on the show which last year was watched live on television by 25 million people.

She joins Adele, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and The Weeknd on this year’s line-up.

Ellie is nominated for best pop solo performance for her 50 Shades Of Grey soundtrack hit Love Me Like You Do.

Speaking to Lorraine Kelly on ITV’s Lorraine, she said: “It’s the first time I’ve been nominated. I’ve been before and it’s an amazing night, but this year I’m also performing, so it’s quite scary.

“America is just a whole other game with music.

“I’m going out there in a few days and it’s going to be a hectic week. But they have parties and stuff, so I’m sure it will be balanced out.”
