Pop star Zara Larsson is enjoying a major career resurgence, but the hitmaker says chart success isn’t the ultimate goal.

Full story below…

The Swedish singer has been riding a wave of momentum thanks to her latest album ‘Midnight Sun,’ viral moments online, and a string of electrifying shows. Yet, despite scoring massive streaming numbers over the years, Larsson says what she truly craves is cultural impact.

Speaking candidly in a new Elle interview, the ‘Lush Life‘ singer addressed critics who question her legacy. She said:

“I know everyone’s talking about the f**king Khia asylum. I’ve had big songs. I’ve had songs that have been streamed billions of times, but I’ve always craved to have a cultural impact. My biggest thing is my shows. That’s where I want people to come and enjoy. That’s really my number-one thing.”

Larsson is currently touring intimate venues across the U.S., a move she says has allowed her to reconnect with fans in a more personal way.

Still, the pop star isn’t slowing down. A deluxe edition of ‘Midnight Sun’ is already in the works, she shared:

“Summer truly isn’t over yet. Midnight Sun was released in September. It’s been brewing all year. I feel like this deluxe is just going to build onto that world that kind of already exists, but in a really fun, different way. I’m very proud of all the people that are a part of this project. I’ve never felt as accomplished as I do when I listen to these songs, because I feel like this is a really big deal for me. I want to do a proper rollout. I want to do the teasing of it all, the anticipation, the little Easter eggs. I’m very excited.”

With momentum on her side, it’s clear Larsson’s era is only heating up.
