Alessia Cara is all smiles on stage after performing Day 2 of BBC Radio 1′s Big Weekend held at Powderham Castle on Sunday (May 29) in Exeter, England.
The 19-year-old “Here” singer chatted with press ahead of her set, about touring with Coldplay and shared a funny story about arguing with her mom over who was the bigger fan.
“So I wanted to say that I was their biggest fan, but my mum argued that she was,” Alessia shared. “What came out was ‘my mom’s probably a bigger fan than I am’ to which Chris [Martin] replied: ‘It’s ok, we don’t need you, we’ve got tons of fans.”
She added, “I felt so dumb. My whole life had led to that moment and I messed it up. But of course he was joking.”
Ellie Goulding, Iggy Azalea, The 1975 and One Republic also hit the stage for the concert event.
BIG WEEKEND thank u so much ???? thanks @BBCR1 for having us & always being so great
