Let’s face it – Ellie Goulding is pretty much flawless. And she makes it even more obvious while gracing the January cover of U.K.’s Cosmopolitan, but the singer admits to the magazine that she wasn’t as confident about herself as we would think.

“My confident has grown in the past years, as a woman… I feel strong in more ways than one at the moment… I feel very independent and feminist right now,” Ellie explains. “I went through a time of being quite insecure. I’d convince myself I was fat; I didn’t like my figure and I had a big nose. Now I’ve finally got to a place where I don’t focus on those things. I feel like I’m not changing for anyone; I’m doing it all for myself.”

Man, this year’s American Music Awards are really looking to be called the “biggest awards show of the year!” It seems like every day we find out more and more about what will be going down this Sunday night in LA and it can be easy to forget who’s performing, who’ll be there, etc. To help you keep all the AMA facts straight, we felt it was appropriate to give you all a run-down on this year’s show!

It was just announced that Ariana Grande and Christina Aguilera have been added to the already massive performers line-up, with Christina teaming up with A Great Big World for “Say Something.” While we’re not sure what Ariana will be singing, we’re going to take a wild guess and say “Right There” with the possibility of Big Sean joining her.
