Uh-oh.. Ellie Goulding got into some serious trouble Down Under
Ellie Goulding is currently in Australia where she was scheduled to perform during the AFL Grand Final.
She managed to run into a bit of trouble however when she was accused of lip-syncing on stage.
The 28-year old singer has been suffering from an “illness” and also faced some technical issues during her performance. She didn’t come in on time with the music and the song had to be restarted.
She was performing her song Love Me Like You Do and according to Mail Online the technical error resulted in many social media users getting very annoyed with the star.

Ellie shot back at her accusers on Twitter and wrote:
“Love it when people think I lip sync, what a rad compliment. Now where does one find a good veggie restaurant in Melbs?”
After her performance the producer of the Toyota AFL Grand Final Entertainment Michael Gudinski released a statement in support of Ellie.
“Ellie performed live vocals to a backing track. This is a very common practice for performances in situations such as the Grand Final.
Unfortunately a technical issue at the start of Ellie’s performance caused a brief hiccup but Ellie went on to prove just how much of a superstar she is, belting out two of her massive hits.”
I give 100% in my performances even when people don't give much back. My fans know that. That's because I love what I do so much.

Ellie continued to defend her performance on social media and she told her fans in Oz she was “determined to give everything.”
Considering I had no voice yesterday and a sleepless night because of the meds I would say it's been a good day thanks for the love x
