After being spotted by her label in 2009 Ellie Goulding’s career has rocketed her to a fame unimaginable by so many. Her music allows her to perform to crowds around the world, but her celebrity status gives her the platform in which to share her views and voice her opinion on so many of the worlds issues – and the best part? Her fans actually listen.

An advocate for female empowerment and animal rights she regularly posts inspirational messages across her social media, which in turn receive thousands of likes and follows. Her knowledge and passion is a welcome breathe of fresh air amongst the celebrities of today who either stay quiet on social issues, or only jump on the band wagon for popularity.

Since she came onto the music scene Ellie has always been different, despite her music falling into the pop category she has always strived to be  so much more than just another celebrity spread across the pages of magazines.

Follow her on Instagram and you’ll regularly see photos of her at the gym working on her boxing, encouraging other young women to work out for themselves and not for society. Take a look at her Twitter and you’ll read multiple tweets encouraging world peace and messages of love.

Never quick to label herself, she embodies feminism – becoming a star that her fans really can look up to. Even with her love life and bikini holiday snaps splashed across every news outlet for criticism, her cool and calm demeanour never falters, it is unfortunately this type of exposure and invasion of privacy that comes with her type of fame. But without it she would not have an audience to discuss and share her views with and she knows this; the age old catch twenty-two.IMG_3323

Halfway through her world tour Delirium she’s already making waves, with her last night in London at the O2 tonight before heading to the states. Her career and her popularity has only just reached fever pitch and at just 29 she’s on track to becoming one of our biggest stars on and off stage. One things for sure, we can expect more from Ellie than speculating who she’ll date next or scrutinising what she wore to an awards show once.
