Halsey surprised and excited her fans on Wednesday by inviting Ellie Goulding to join her on stage. Together, they performed Goulding’s popular song, “Starry Eyed,” during Halsey’s Back to Badlands tour.
31-year-old singer Halsey, whose full name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, just finished performing three shows at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. These concerts concluded the European portion of her tour.
For her last performance in the city, the singer saved Ellie’s, 39, special appearance for almost the end of the show, which thrilled the audience.
You guys, let me tell you about something amazing! Halsey brought out Ellie during the show, and it was so special. She explained that this whole tour is about celebrating the 10-year anniversary of an album we all adore, but it’s also been a chance for her to reconnect with the incredible people – the artists and friends – who helped make that era so magical. It was honestly heartwarming to see her acknowledge everyone who played a part in her journey.
I admired them for many reasons – they believed in me, worked with me, and honestly, I really needed role models at the time.
She continued: ‘There’s one person in particular that I’m so excited to have here tonight.
Ellie Goulding is a true pioneer in the music industry, and I feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside her. I’m a huge fan, and I’d love for everyone to give it up for Ellie Goulding!
The audience cheered when Ellie, who is pregnant with her first child and dating Beau Minniear, came onto the stage.
The singer hugged Halsey, and then they began performing Ellie Goulding’s popular 2010 song ‘Lights’ from her first album.
For the performance, Ellie slipped into silk green shorts layered over black sheer tights.
She highlighted her growing baby bump with a vibrant red jacket that was cropped and featured bright blue accents.
She completed the look with oversized Yves Saint Laurent black shades and gold statement earrings.
The duo looked in their element as they belted out the track to thousands of fans.
Ellie, who already has a four-year-old son named Arthur with her ex-husband, Caspar Jopling, announced she is expecting another child while attending the Fashion Awards in early December.
Ellie and Beau began dating publicly in September 2025, and since then they’ve vacationed together in Italy. While there, Beau posted a personal photo online of Ellie relaxing in their messy hotel room bed.
He also appears in several raunchy scenes in Ellie’s latest music video, Destiny.
This news follows reports that Ellie has parted ways with her management team as she prepares to release her sixth studio album and make a return to music.
Ellie Goulding is expected to release a new album soon, following her 2023 release, ‘Higher Than Heaven.’ It’s reported that she ended her relationship with her management company, TaP, late last year as part of a significant change in her team.
The popular singer joined the company in 2018, becoming part of a talented group of artists that already included Dua Lipa and Lana Del Rey.
According to a source, she’s starting the new year with a clear focus on family, as she’s expecting her second child in just a few weeks.
Ellie is a remarkably successful and distinctive artist, quickly becoming one of the UK’s most significant new voices.
According to a source at the Daily Mail, TaP and Ellie ended their working relationship on December 9th. They expressed pride in their eight years of collaboration but agreed it was time to move forward separately.
The Daily Mail reached out to Ellie Goulding’s team and her management, TaP, for a response when this happened.
Ellie recently told NYLON that she always intended to make a new album, but it unexpectedly became focused on her divorce. She explained that the album’s direction naturally shifted as her personal life changed.
In 2019, the singer married Caspar Jopling, whose grandfather was Conservative MP and Baron Michael Jopling. The wedding took place at the historic York Minster cathedral. Caspar is a Harvard graduate.
She explained that even though her marriage ended, she’ll always remember believing it would last forever. She feels it’s important to acknowledge and respect that period of her life, and certain songs help her do that.
I performed some songs that felt right at the time because they expressed strong emotions, but I’ve realized they aren’t songs I want to continue performing.
