Ellie Goulding has shut down a longstanding rumor suggesting she cheated on Ed Sheeran with Niall Horan. On New Year's Eve, Goulding posted a video to TikTok showing herself dancing to the Harry Styles song As It Was. Later, a follower commented, "can't believe u cheated on ed with niall but slay fr (sic)," referring to reports back in 2013 that Ellie had been dating both Ed and Niall. Ellie was quick to reject the claim. "False!!!! But also slay," she wrote.
