The self-taught singer rose to the top of the UK album charts following the release of her debut album, Lights, in 2010. Her stateside debut was followed by a national U.S. tour and included TV performances on Saturday Night Live, Live with Regis and Kelly, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the only performer at the royal wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton, and most recently a performance at the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington, D.C. Goulding is scheduled to appear on Late Night with David Letterman on the eve of her JetBlue performance. Having already conquered her native Britain with the best-selling debut album of 2010, Ellie has also won over American audiences and garnered rave reviews for Lights.

"Ellie Goulding's fresh sound and her fast entrance into pop culture stardom is the perfect fit for JetBlue, a young airline with a pop-brand following," said JetBlue Brand Coordinator Albert Hsieh. "JetBlue takes our commitment to fun seriously. Our customers traveling through our home at JFK's T5 will be surprised with a free concert to brighten their airport experience."
