'It wasn't just me': Ellie Goulding feels 'things have changed' in the music arena after #MeToo movement

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: Ellie Goulding feels a lot has changed in the music arena since the #MeToo movement in 2017.

The ‘Love Me Like You Do’ crooner, in her recent interview, said that after the #MeToo phase, women came out and openly shared their experiences at their workplace.

"I definitely think the landscape has changed a bit, especially since the #MeToo movement," the young singer said.

She continued, "I think that was really, really important for people to keep speaking out about their individual stories, because I know a lot was happening and just wasn't being talked about.”

Ellie Goulding shared her previous 'uncomfortable situations'

Goulding told BBC’s Radio 4 how “a lot of people felt comfortable” to share their unpleasant experiences. She even talked about her own uncomfortable situations while working.

"I had experiences which, in my head, I sort of normalized and thought, ‘Oh, maybe this is just a thing,'" said the 36-year-old.

"You know, when you go into a studio and afterwards the producer asks if you want to go for a drink. And I'm quite a polite person, I don't like letting people down. I don't like disappointing people. So I was like, 'Yeah, sure, absolutely, go for a drink,'" she reflected.

“And then and then it sort of somehow becomes like a romantic thing when it shouldn't," she continued, adding "You don't want it to be a romantic thing, but it's like there was always a slight feeling of discomfort when you walked into a studio and it was just one or two men writing or producing.”

Ellie Goulding says the #MeToo movement cleared her doubts

Goulding wanted to know if it was just her who felt uncomfortable in such situations or if others shared the same thoughts on this.

However, with the #MeToo movement, she got her answer. "But then hearing so many other stories, similar stories from other female musicians and singers, I realized that I wasn't alone in it at all. It wasn't just me, being particularly friendly," Goulding said.

"It was like a sort of unspoken thing where if you're working with male producers, that was almost like an expectation, which sounds mad for me to say out loud, and it definitely wouldn't happen now,” she added.

“I mean, very rarely, because things have just really changed," Goulding continued.
