In a recent interview, model and actress Cara Delevingne shared an amusing story about her first meeting with legendary musician Bruce Springsteen, revealing she had no idea who he was until her girlfriend, Leah Mason, told her.
Meeting the Boss: A Starstruck Moment
While attending the Glastonbury Music Festival in 2022, Cara and her girlfriend Leah Mason found themselves backstage, where they took a photo with a man Cara didn’t recognize. “Who was that?” Cara asked Leah afterward. To her surprise, the man was none other than Bruce Springsteen, the iconic singer of “Born to Run,” who had just performed during Paul McCartney’s main stage set.
A Music Legend Unrecognized
Cara recalled Leah’s shocked reaction: “She was like, ‘What? That was Bruce Springsteen!’ I had no idea what he looked like. She thinks that’s blasphemy.” Cara explained that she and Leah have very different musical tastes. While Leah enjoys classic rock bands like Fleetwood Mac, Cara prefers R&B and classic hip-hop artists like the Notorious B.I.G.
Concert Lovers Despite Differences
Despite their differing musical preferences, Cara and Leah still enjoy attending concerts together. They have plans to see artists like Girls Aloud, Taylor Swift, Troye Sivan, Robbie Williams, and Stevie Nicks in the near future.
Reconnecting After Years Apart
In a March 2023 interview with Vogue, Cara revealed that she and Leah first met at an English boarding school but lost touch over the years. They reconnected twelve years later at an Alanis Morissette concert and have been inseparable since.
Who is Bruce Springsteen?

Over his six-decade career, he has released 21 studio albums, most of which feature the E Street Band. Springsteen is known for his “heartland rock” style, which combines mainstream rock with lyrically rich and socially conscious storytelling, often focusing on the lives of working-class Americans. His energetic live performances are legendary, sometimes lasting up to four hours.
Cara’s candid and humorous recount of her encounter with Bruce Springsteen highlights the delightful unpredictability of celebrity meetings and the diverse world of musical tastes.
