Fans of Ellie Goulding were in for a treat as her Wednesday night New York concert was streamed on YouTube. But even better: it was directed by Scarlett Johansson.

The gig at the Hammerstein Ballroom was put together by the BAFTA-winning actress as part of a series of shows which will see concerts directed by stars including Spike Lee, Werner Herzog and Steve Buscemi.

People thought Scarlett and Ellie were a #powerhouseduo

The set went down well…

And the live stream was popular:

Ellie is also the cover star for Shape – and told the magazine she doesn’t stay fit in order to keep skinny.

The singer, who has run five half-marathons so far, said: “My goal always is to get stronger. I want to be strong and ready for anything.”

She added: “If getting stronger means getting more toned and slimmer, so be it, as long as strength comes with it. I’m happy with my figure. I’ve never intended or tried to be skinny. It’s my not thing.”

On her vices, she admitted she keeps things realistic: “I’m never ashamed to talk about my past. I smoked for a long time. I still drink alcohol,” she said.

“I believe you have to find balance. We’re expected to stay fit and eat healthy all the time, but that’s just never going to happen. We all have to deal with stress. Sometimes at the end of the day, I want to have a drink, and I’m not ashamed of that.”
