Zara Larsson is already making room for her very first Grammy Award.
After being nominated for the 2026 awards ceremony, Larsson sat down People magazine for an interview and expressed her enthusiasm for recognition for the song Midnight sun.
The singer, whose career has been on fire since she released her third studio album Midnight sun in September said, “It’s so incredible. I mean, I can believe it because I had so much faith and trust in the whole record, but specifically in Midnight Sun.”
Calling it her biggest dream, Larsson said, “A Grammy to me really symbolizes what it means to be recognized by other people in the industry. I think that’s actually really nice and something that people sometimes forget.”
“I just feel very seen. I feel very validated in my artistic direction. I’m so invested in this project, and I’m so invested in the song and the video and the world-building. And it feels that way to me,” the Lush Life hitmaker noted.
The Zara Larsson category is nominated for Best Dance Pop Recording, which is a relatively new category. With Kylie Minogue and Charli XCX previously only winning in the category, Larsson was asked how it feels to follow in their footsteps?
Larsson said: ‘It would mean that I am hardened.’ She further noted, “It’s like ‘Zara Larsson, Grammy winner.’ When I get that credited, it’s like, ‘Yes, thank you.’ This way you can talk to me. ”
Additionally, Larsson also revealed the “perfect spot” for her award, saying, “Even if you only have one, you’re a Grammy-winning artist forever. And I have a perfect spot for it on my bookshelf.”
“I know exactly where it would go,” she added.
