I think she's so cute and very, very, very talented. She's unapologetically herself, which I love, and she's doing things her own way/ She's also very smart and funny."As to how their team-up came about, the Ain't My Fault singer revealed that their partnership happened quite casually."I actually DM'ed her two days before she asked me to jump on the remix, like, 'Queen.' I think that's all I said. She was like, 'Hey queen.' I just went, 'I love you.' I wanted to show some love. I was on a love spree. I just DM'ed a bunch of pop girlies, like, 'Queen.' I just want to appreciate all the girls who are killing it."Zara Larsson earns first GRAMMY nominationMeanwhile, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Zara Larsson — who scored her first GRAMMY nod with her Midnight Sun single — reflected on her journey as an artist."When I first started releasing music, I never wrote anything. I started when I was 14, so I just knew I wanted to sing. As I was doing that, I discovered that it's very important to be part of the process, and I don't want to be just a performer. I want to be an artist."Zara Larsson Performs At Le Trianon - Source: GettyThe pop star did exactly that in her fifth studio album, having written all 10 tracks in it."It was meant to be Midnight Sun because this is me, it’s what feels like me. This is the first project that I have been 100 percent a part of and created, and the song is my favorite song that I've ever done. It represents me so well."Zara Larsson released the album on Sept. 26, featuring Pretty Ugly as the title track. Her song Midnight Sun has been nominated for the Best Dance Pop Recording category at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards, set to broadcast on Feb. 1, 2026.
