'Burn' songstress Ellie Goulding has confessed that performing alongside some of the female solo artists she looked up to before finding her own success has been incredible and has given her memories that will last a lifetime. 

Speaking to E! news about what she would consider to be a career highlight so far, she explained that playing music with Taylor Swift and pop songstress Katy Perry was amazing and she will never forget it:

"Performing with Taylor Swift and Katy Perry… just being able to meet and get advice from people I looked up to for a really long time since before I was known as a singer."

Goulding also opened up about the time she met Beyoncé, who told her she liked her music: "I was just walking back from something at the Brits and she was on her way to perform and she said she was a fan. I think I was so overwhelmed that I just forgot about it, but then I remembered it the other day and was like, 'Damn, that was the coolest thing ever.'"
