Cara Delevingne Reveals How BFF Taylor Swift Has Supported Her Music Career

After Cara Delevingne announced her debut solo music project, she detailed how longtime pal Taylor Swift shared support in an exclusive E! News interview at Billboard’s Women in Music event. 

Taylor Swift taught Cara Delevingne how to live the life of a showgirl. 

As the model sets out on her blossoming music career, having announced her first headlining shows earlier this month, she shared a valuable piece of advice given from the 14-time Grammy winner. 

“The more you do, the more people there are gonna be that question it,” Cara told E! News at Billboard’s Women in Music event in Los Angeles April 29. “Art is a pure expression of yourself. So, if you’re doing what you feel is right, nothing else really matters.”

Indeed, Cara shared that one of the flowers she picked from Taylor’s lovely bouquet is to know she’ll find an audience that resonates with her sound. 

As she put it, “The only thing I want is for people to feel things from this music.”

Of course, Taylor isn’t the only showgirl that Cara looked to for advice. The 33-year-old explained that Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple were major inspirations for her upcoming singles “I Forgot” and “Out of My Head,” which she announced April 24. 

“I probably wouldn’t be standing here without Fiona Apple,” Cara mused. “She was one of my biggest idols—is one of my biggest idols. But also someone who really believed in me and gave me the confidence to continue and do it and we would send back and forth incredible creative notes and inspiration.”

And through knowing Fiona, Alanis and Taylor, Cara couldn’t help but emphasize the women were “even more incredible than you’d think they’d be” when they were just her heroes, before her friends.

“It is everything,” Cara continued of female friendship. “I don’t think I would be alive without some of these women in my life.”

Of course, Cara has proven time and again that she is there for Taylor, too. Shortly after the “Karma” singer and Travis Kelce began dating, the Paper Towns alum knew it would be the love story her pal had been waiting for. 

“There’s definitely something very different about them,” Cara teased to E! News in 2023. “I’m so, so happy for her.”
