The US rocker previously endorsed Kamala Harris for president, calling Donald Trump "the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime" in a video posted on social media.
In the video, Springsteen also said Trump's "disdain for the sanctity of our constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power" should disqualify him from presidency.
After the election, Springsteen appeared in Toronto, opening the concert saying: "This is a fighting prayer for my country", before performing his 2007 track Long Walk Home, according to videos circulating on social media.
The song, from his Magic album, includes themes of women and freedom. His second track was 2001 song Land Of Hope And Dreams - often described as a celebration of America.
Springsteen apologised for being over an hour late to the stage citing "plane trouble", adding: "We had to sit on our arses for hours and wait for another one."
