So with all of this success talk, was this a sold-out tour run? Not quite. That's what makes you guys awesome," she said before rolling into the song.) if I played it back home, nobody would know it.
"You guys here in the States know a song - you know it quite well, actually - that. Though she never formally addressed it, she was clearly taken back by an entire crowd that knew every word to deep album cuts like "Codes" and "Aftertaste" in addition to the radio hits (including "Lights," of course, which has been transferred to an acoustic ballad style for this concert run. Maybe they have a point, but I'd argue it's because nothing about the Ellie we all have come to know and love has changed she has yet to comprehend the magnitude of her success. Some critics from big-name papers have slammed Goulding with not having the overbearing presence to command such an elaborate show. While her ultra-muscular back-up dancers bore the brunt of the choreographed workload, I'm glad to report that random spurs of energy (the bounces, the leaps, the twirls, the jumps - everything we're used to from her) are still in her wheelhouse they were the physical promises that she's still having a good time on stage, despite performing high-energy, upbeat songs inspired by Dougie Poynter, now her ex-boyfriend. But she's still Ellie, still playing some tunes and still having a good time doing so, this time in a bit of a varied format the show weaved between choreographed dance explosions, video interludes, and stripped-back acoustic bits. In natural arena show form, it ran on a strict blueprint and left little time for personable chit-chat, minus some small talk about the temperature when the good ol' Lake Erie breeze started to blow through the venue. She was just Ellie, playing some tunes and having a good time doing so. In live renditions of her older material that has been cut from this tour's set (probably in part from performer's fatigue, after she had been touring her first two albums' material for what seemed like an eternity), she seemed restrained - a bit timid, if you will - but never unhappy or ungrateful. She played theaters and festivals in one outfit, without dancers or any pop show production pizzazz. She's a changed woman from her earliest shows. It's a show fit for a true queen.Īnd in the middle of it all stands our musical shero, Ellie Goulding. She has thrown out most of the old material in favor of the new, sprinkled in some choreography and costume changes, and plastered her backdrop with wall-to-wall LCD screens, utilized for flashy video interludes of Ellie looking more badass than ever before. With all of this in mind, it was only natural for Goulding to dream big for this tour - her first headlining arena tour in the States. Delirium found our Ellie, once just a girl with her acoustic guitar and a helping hand in production from Starsmith, clad in the shiniest Max Martin armor, geared up and ready to dominate.

In less than 10 months, the music video surpassed 2 billion YouTube views. However, not only did the song skyrocket in popularity (reaching No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100), so did the video. Upon release in 2019, Maroon 5’s smash hit featuring Cardi B caught a lot of attention for its cameo-filled nature, featuring the likes of Camila Cabello, Ellen DeGeneres, Gal Gadot, Jennifer Lopez, Behati Prinsloo and more. The news comes shortly after “Girls Like You” from their 2017 album Red Pill Blues was certified Diamond for moving more than 10 million copies in the U.S. This run speaks to the group’s sustained global impact as an international pop music force and is the first time a major western artist is playing a regional tour in the Middle East, solidifying the region’s emergence as a touring market with routed plays. Those shows “rank among the fastest-selling shows in the UAE.”
