VICTORIA’S SECRET ANNOUNCES PERFORMANCE BY ELLIE GOULDING
AT THE 2015 VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW
Victoria’s Secret is pleased to announce that Universal Music megastar Ellie Goulding will be joining
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd at the 2015 THE VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW, to be broadcast
Tuesday, Dec. 8 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Victoria’s Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel and
Lily Aldridge, as well as newest Angels Elsa Hosk, Jac Jagaciak, Jasmine Tookes, Kate Grigorieva, Lais Ribeiro,
Martha Hunt, Romee Strijd, Sara Sampaio, Stella Maxwell, Taylor Hill and Victoria’s Secret PINK model Rachel
Hilbert, will be a part of the show that merges fashion, fantasy and entertainment into a runway spectacle. The
show, seen in more than 180 countries, will include pink carpet interviews, model profiles, a behind-the-scenes
look at the making of the world’s most celebrated fashion show and the multi-million dollar Fantasy Bra.
Previously announced appearance by Rihanna has been canceled.
British singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding has sold over six million albums and 27 million singles worldwide.
She’s had six consecutive platinum singles: “Lights,” “Anything Could Happen,” “I Need Your Love,” “Burn,”
“Outside” and “Love Me Like You Do” (which went to #1 on the iTunes chart in over 70 countries and broke the
record for most streamed song in one week on Spotify), and has racked up over one billion plays on both
YouTube and Spotify. Goulding’s third album, Delirium, was just released on November 6 and her 2016
European and US tours are already one of the hottest tickets. Goulding has performed at the world’s biggest
festivals, including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, and Outside Lands, but this is her first
time rocking the Victoria’s Secret runway.
On Selena Gomez’s latest album debut, the multi-platinum singer redefines her role as a pop artist and offers her
most complex and compelling album so far. Revival finds the 23-year-old co-writing with A$AP Rocky. The lead
single, “Good for You,” a snap-beat-driven slow-burner debuted at #1 on Billboard’s digital songs chart, spent
three consecutive weeks at #1 at Top 40 radio and landed on Rolling Stone’s list of the “25 Best Songs of 2015
So Far.” Revival is the follow-up to 2013’s Stars Dance, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s album chart and
spawned the triple-platinum #1 hit “Come and Get It.” Revival marks the latest chapter in a career that’s brought
Gomez from starring in her own Disney Channel show at age 15 to taking a central role in Harmony Korine’s 2012
cult film classic “Spring Breakers,” all while selling more than 22 million singles worldwide. The second single off
the album, “Same Old Love,” is getting rave reviews. Recently, Gomez announced that she will embark on her
worldwide “Revival Tour” in 2016.
“The Weeknd,” a Grammy Award®-nominated, multi-platinum alternative R&B artist, continues a streak of
smashing records. His critically acclaimed gold-certified third full-length album Beauty Behind the Madness sold
more than 412,000 album equivalents upon release, held #1 on the Billboard Top 200 for three consecutive weeks,
making for the longest run at #1 on the chart this year, and debuted at #1 on the Apple Music overall albums chart
in more than 70 countries and Top 10 in nearly 100. The album is the first to surpass 100 million global audio
streams, with over 80 million plays from Spotify, breaking their U.S. and global record for most streams in a single
week. Prior to release, Beauty Behind the Madness sold more than 1 million album equivalents worldwide, with
four of the tracks from the album reaching platinum or multi-platinum status. This fall, “The Weeknd” will support
the release of Beauty Behind the Madness with The Madness Fall Tour.
