They both had a great evening at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards last night (August 25) and Ellie Goulding and Ed Sheeran even managed to spark some reports of a budding romance.

However, it turns out that the 26-year-old British songbird is nothing more than friends with the crimson-haired balladeer.

Ms. Goulding seemed annoyed as she addressed the situation via Twitter- "I love that holding hands with my friends means we're an item. In that case I am in many relationships. Lover not a hater. #whatthef*ck."

As of late, Goulding has also been erroneously linked to Niall Horan of One Direction. She explained "Oh God, I knew this was coming! I just can't talk about Niall. I won't ever talk about my love life anymore because it's always then gone wrong when I have in the past."
