Ellie Goulding: 'I don't compare myself to Taylor Swift'

Ellie Goulding says she doesn't buy into comparisons between herself and Taylor Swift.

The two singers are friends and the former appeared in the latter's star-studded 'Bad Blood' video.

Speaking to The Sun, Goulding said that she doesn't see the '1989' icon as competition.

She said: "I don't compare myself to Taylor. She's on such an incredible level.

"She's got a beautiful outlook on life and a beautiful attitude and I honestly think that kindness goes such a long way in whatever you do in any field. She's genuine.

"We get on as we both have the same sense of humour and laughing through things is the best thing you can have."

Goulding meanwhile also opened up on the sound of her upcoming third album 'Delirium', which was created with the help of hit songwriter Max Martin.

She said: "I wanted this album to take me to another place and part of it was accidental. I didn't know how this album was going to end up sounding in the very beginning and as soon as I made six or seven songs it was shaping up and I thought, 'OK this is going to be a big pop record'.

"I was only meant to write one song with Max then we got on so well we were like, 'Sod it, let's just make some more songs together'."

Goulding will release 'Delirium' on November 6.
