Ellie Goulding Says Noel Gallagher Actually Told Her He “Loves” Her Music, But To Keep It A Secret

Earlier this week, Noel Gallagher called the current crop of pop stars “cunts,” going off in Esquire UK asking, “Who gives a shit what Ellie Goulding is up to? Really? Adele, what? Blows my fucking mind. It blows my fucking mind. Nobody cares!” But it turns out he might just be a little less crotchety about the pop landscape than his public image would suggest. For one thing, he’s featured on the new Coldplay album A Head Full Of Dreams, alongside pop stars like Beyoncé and Tove Lo. And now it turns out he actually “loves” Ellie Goulding’s music, according to the singer herself.

“Noel came up to me at the Brit Awards two years ago and said, ‘I love your music – but don’t fucking tell anyone,'” Goulding told The Sun. Seems he’s just as self-aware about his persona as any famous musician. So the secret’s out: The alleged Oasis crank likes electro-tinged pop and sparkly arena rock as much as the next guy. Spread the word.
