Ellie Goulding<\/a><\/strong> has filed a lawsuit against former managers Ben Mawson<\/strong> and Ed Millett<\/strong>, alleging they concealed that their management company TaP Music<\/strong> was a subsidiary of Live Nation<\/a><\/strong> while steering her toward Live Nation business.<\/p>\n

The suit claims Mawson and Millett, who founded TaP Music in 2010, repeatedly encouraged Goulding<\/a> to work with Live Nation without disclosing the corporate relationship, creating an undisclosed conflict of interest. The claim states:<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Mawson and Mr. Millett were subject to contractual obligations not to encourage any artist under their management to cease to do business with or reduce the extent of her or business with any company in the Live Nation group.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Live Nation acquired a majority stake in TaP Music in 2015 through parent company HNOE<\/strong>, then bought out the remaining shares in 2019.<\/p>\n

Mawson and Millett managed Goulding from 2018 through 2025, taking a 20% commission, according to the claim. During that period, Goulding worked with Live Nation companies on touring, merchandise, and a documentary film.<\/p>\n

Goulding is seeking equitable compensation and\/or damages, as well as other related entitlements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ellie Goulding is suing former managers Ben Mawson
