BRIT Awards 2024: Viewers brand Ellie Goulding’s ‘amazing’ performance the ‘highlight of the show’ as she storms the stage in a sexy white bodysuit
BRIT Award viewers called Ellie Goulding’s performance ‘amazing’ and the ‘highlight’ of the entire evening as she took to the stage with Calvin Harris at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday evening.
The singer, 37, announced last week that her four-year marriage to Caspar Jopling, 31, had ended after she was pictured getting cozy with hunky surfing instructor Arrmando Perez.
But this weekend it was all about music for Ellie as she stormed the stage with her and Calvin Harris’ hit Miracle.
The singer stunned in a white ruffled bodysuit and thigh-high boots that showed off her gym-honed physique.
As they raced to X, formerly Twitter, fans flooded the set, calling it “amazing,” “perfect” and “iconic.”

The singer looked stunning in an all-leather look as Ellie, 37, stormed the stage just a week after announcing the end of her marriage.
Dua showed off her abs in a black bra which she teamed with hot pants, a biker jacket and heeled boots.
