Ellie Goulding has promised to be a better ally amid the Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd. The singer opened up on Instagram about being ‘ashamed’ that she hadn’t previously listened more.

She wrote on Instagram: ‘After being initially horrified I [spent] the past few days learning and listening, opening my ears to voices that have been protesting this for years and dedicating their lives to it, to voices I am ashamed that I didn’t listen to more, to history I safely and comfortably knew a bit about but not enough. ‘I’m letting you all know that I am now a student of this forever, so that I can become an ally.
