MasterCard: advert-body-1 by McCann London
- Location:
Brit Award winning singer-songwriter, Ellie Goulding, gave two of her biggest fans the surprise of a lifetime when she joined them on stage for a live, impromptu duet of her latest single, Army.
Ellie Goulding’s surprise was a part of MasterCard’s Priceless Surprises campaign, created by McCann London, and celebrating the 2016 BRIT Awards. Goulding joins other global artists, including Mark Ronson, in an ongoing series of surprises and gigs, helping MasterCard cardholders share their love of music.
Best friends Martha and Lucy, 20-year-old King’s College students, believed they were recording their cover of Goulding’s new track Army for a documentary about music superfans.
During their recording, a curtain lifted on their recording booth to reveal they were actually on stage, performing in front of a live audience. The biggest surprise was yet to come, when Ellie Goulding herself stepped out on stage to perform the track alongside them.
