British pop star Ellie Goulding has hit back at lip-synching allegations, insisting she sang live during her performance at the Australian Football League (AFL)'s Grand Final on Saturday.

The 'Starry Eyed' hitmaker stood on a stage in the middle of the Melbourne Cricket Ground preparing to start her two-song set when the audio tracks for her hits 'Burn' and 'Love Me Like You Do' began playing at the same time.

Goulding's singing could be heard although she was not using her microphone at that moment.

The audio was cut, and shortly after, she began performing 'Love Me Like You Do'.

The technical mistake lead critics to question if she was singing live, and the pop star has now hit back at the speculation on Twitter, writing:

Musician Bryan Adams and Chris Isaak also provided pre-match entertainment.
