She dated Cara Delevingne
St. Vincent and Cara Delevingne dated from 2014 to 2016. The pair were first spotted together during the St. Vincent tour after being introduced by Fiona Apple. After the relationship was public, the women were regular chased — which St. Vincent wasn’t used to. “It was just bananas,” St. Vincent said to The Telegraph‘s Stella magazine. “I remember being in a high-speed chase through London. I was thinking, ‘This is a Princess Diana-style situation, somebody could get killed.’”

Cara also opened up about her intense relationship with St. Vincent. “I’m completely in love. Before, I didn’t know what love was — real love. I didn’t understand the depth of it,” the British born model said to Vogue in 2016. “I always used to think it was you against the world. Now I know the meaning of life is love. Whether that’s for yourself or for the world or your partner,” she sweetly added. Despite their split, Cara and St. Vincent remained close. “I’ll love her for ever and ever,” St. Vincent said to Stella. Of note, Cara also sings on St. Vincent’s song “Pills.” The pair reportedly broke up due to the challenges around a long distance relationship.
She’s a Grammy winner
St. Vincent won her very first Grammy in 2014, for her fourth album St. Vincent, in the Best Alternative Music Album category. She earned another in 2019 for “Masseduction” alongside Jack Antonoff in Best Rock Song, in addition to once again being nominated in the Alternative Music category.
“I want to say a big thank you to my friend here Jack Antonoff,” she said on-stage in 2019 after winning. “We made a record together that I’m so proud of. I think this is the first time that I’ve given a thank you speech,” she gushed, thanking her family “so much,” those who worked on the record, and more.

She directed a movie
The Texas native made her directorial debut with horror anthology XX, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2017. “I never saw myself even seeing a horror film. I can’t watch them, because everything disgusting or violent just gets seared into my retinas,” she confessed to Billboard. “I’ll obsess over those images for a long time. Watching horror movies with me is so annoying — I’m the one screaming, ‘What’s going to happen next?’ But it was very amazing when I got asked to direct one. Surprisingly, I had the best time,” she added. She noted that the story was based on a true story that had happened to a friend of hers.
