Ellie Goulding Makes Her Case for Pop Dominance at Coachella
As an English pop star whose stateside success has been sporadic, Ellie Goulding once again proved she has the charisma and precision to stack against the top-shelf artists scaling the charts at a consistent pace during her Coachella main stage performance on Friday night (Apr. 15).
Goulding's showmanship is an immediate selling point. In a cropped white long-sleeve top and fitting shorts, she was on full display from the start on Friday night. Within the first three songs, including "Burn" and "Holding on for Life," she shredded an electric guitar and banged out a mean rhythm on the drums. It's a versatility that only added to the allure, conveying a grasp for the music at hand and her ability to maneuver through it.
