Cara Delevingnes Singing Debut Gets Mixed Reactions

has started her 11-city headline music tour across Europe and North America to launch her new singing career. 

But the model, 33, was met with mixed reviews after her performance at the Primavera Sound festival circulated on social media. 

While some audience members hailed her set as 'surprisingly good', others urged Cara: 'Don't give up the day job!'.

They wrote: 'Me when I'm an aristocrat nepo who decides to simply buy a music career' and 'God love her, it's like Cory Feldman doing his Jackson dance' and 'Don't give up the day job'.

While others said: 'This was surprisingly so so good!' and 'She looks phenomenal, that takes you a long way. Is she the greatest singer no, does she look like she's having a great time? Yes. Fair play to her.'

'Guys I saw her in Berlin. She was actually great, like people in the crowd, cried it was so good. Give her a chance';

'She sounds decent'. 

Cara was full of energy on stage as she played her guitar and danced around. 

The actress launched her music career after critically acclaimed appearances as Sally Bowles in the West End production of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in London.

But things got off to a rather bumpy start after she had to have emergency surgery just one day before the first date of her tour.

The former model, who performed in Berlin on Monday, had to undergo root canal surgery after arriving in .

She shared a dental X-ray of her teeth on her Instagram account and told her fans that a dentist had discovered an infection.

'Landed in Berlin to find out I needed an emergency root canal to remove infection from my bone,' she wrote alongside the picture.

But, in case fans were worried that she might have to miss out on her first ever headline show, she added: 'The show must go on.'

She will return to London for two dates at 26 Leake Street, before heading to Paris, Los Angeles, New York and then on to South America.  

Another star seemingly intent on reinvention, she announced new music I Forgot and Out of My Head last month, with a full album produced by Warner Music out later this summer.

Gone is the short blonde pixie cut she has been synonymous with, replaced by long, dark wavy hair and a moody, minimalist look.

'I was in a couple bands during school, but whenever it came to the songs I'd written, I would lock myself in the bathroom and play them, because I just didn't want anyone to listen,' Cara told Vogue. 'They were always for me.'

Music, she has now said, was her first love, and she wants this album to 'feel like a rebirth'.

Cara burst onto the fashion scene in her early 20s when she landed high-end fashion campaigns for Chanel, Burberry, Fendi and Miu Miu.

She became the It-girl of the fashion world and a fixture on the London party scene, before reinventing herself as an actress.

She delved into the acting world with roles in films Paper Towns, Suicide Squad and Valerian and also appeared in Cabaret in the West End in 2024.

Cara has been sober since checking into rehab in 2022, after realising her partying was spiralling out of control while struggling to cope with her stratospheric rise to fame.
