Robyn and Zara Larsson Discuss Joy and Self-Expression in Stockholm

Swedish pop stars Robyn and Zara Larsson met in Stockholm for a conversation about their lives and careers.

Robyn began releasing music in the 1990s, while Larsson had early hits in 2015 and broke through with her 2025 album Midnight Sun.

They talked about making room for laughter and fun, including in their work.

Robyn said that a playful spirit can help a female pop star protect who she is.

Larsson said she has spoken up about her views since she was young.

She also said she lost a $3 million brand deal after supporting abortion rights.

Their conversation reflects how both artists connect self-expression with the pressures of a pop career.

It’s underrated as a protection for a female pop star, and I feel like that’s what you do.

Sometimes it is, but you have to come back to the joy.
