Ellie Goulding is known for topping the charts and touring across the world, but when it comes to love, Goulding is often private.

Recently she opened up about her life on the road, music and relationships in a recent interview with Red Magazine. Goulding has been in a long-term relationship with fellow pop star, Dougie Poynter, who is best known for being in the band McFly. While tabloids constantly try to look negatively on the relationship, Goulding explained that isn't the case.

"Before him, I was having a single period and hating all men, saying never again, after a series of things that happened to me. I really, really thought I was going to be single for a long while," she said. "I met [Dougie] and was like, uh-oh, game over. He was just so nice.' 'So, you know, you don't throw something like that away so easily.'"

The "On My Mind" singer opened up about her music and work. She explained that often times her days can start at 4 a.m. and end at 3 a.m. the next day.  Along with keeping a packed scheduled, she will also be performing during this year's Grammy Awards.
