Ellie Goulding Discusses Royal Wedding Performance, Sings ‘Lights’

Taking a short break from her stateside headlining tour, UK singer songwriter Ellie Goulding stopped by ‘The Early Show on Saturday Morning’ for the CBS show’s Second Cup Cafe feature to perform the title track from her debut album ‘Lights’, as well as Elton John’s ‘Your Song’.

“It’s been a busy couple of years for sure,” Goulding said about the success of her debut album and having the privilege to perform at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding earlier this year. As for how the wedding invite came about, the 24-year-old said, “I met Prince William at a festival about a year ago, and he was watching our set on the side of the stage with Catherine, and I think they liked it.” As for nerves before the historic live set, she said she got her usual pre-show nerves but “it was just so fun that I forgot about it after the first song.”
