Zara Larsson, 25, has become one of Sweden’s biggest music exports. Songs like “Lush life” and “Symphony” today have around one and a half billion streams on Spotify (each) and her new album “VENUS” has been a smash hit all over the world.
What not everyone knows is that Zara broke through as a ten-year-old. This was in TV4’s Talent in 2008 where she won the final with the song “My Heart Will Go On”.

15 years later, her company has a turnover of around 40 million, other artists attract her for collaborations and she is a guest on talk shows all over the world.
A couple of years ago, she also found love in the dancer Lamin Holmén. Lamin is one of Melodifestivalen’s most successful dancers and is also featured in music videos and at other shows and concerts.

– The best thing I know is when you go out and you see girls flirting with him. Then I feel that “that’s my man”, it’s me who will go home with him tonight, Zara tells in the podcast “Högt i tak” when she was a guest Rosanna Charles and True Guidetti.
– If we could have an open relationship? No, I don’t think any of us would be ready for that. But who knows… if one day you’re married and have kids, you might feel like livening it up a bit, she added.
Zara Larsson: “Laila Bagge has earned…”
One more thing Zara chose to tell about was her story Laila Bagge.
Rosanna and Sanna then ask Zara about a headline they saw circulating about “Laila Bagge’s secret money deal with Zara Larsson”.

– It must have something to do with this… so she found me, you could say? She got a kind of “finding fi” so… well… she pulled in what could it be *beep sound* from everything I’ve earned up to… well not so long ago….
– You are joking? So she’s been bilking you for all these years? You seriously built her house haha, says Rosanna.
– Yes. It was when I changed labels from the label she helped me get signed to. Queen anyway haha. But I still have to say it, Laila took me to LA and arranged for me to meet TEN (record company), which I was signed to later. So she should have it, concludes Zara.
