Her acoustic performance left fans in awe, and an amazing cheer as she hit her final note. The event was live streamed on BT Sport, Facebook, and aired live in the United States. The event was attended by many a-list celebrities such as our very own Ellie Goulding, Thierry Henry, Tinie Tempah, and Arsenal Footballers, and many more! The night was a definite success!
