Zara Larsson is Back and Better Than Ever, Proving 2016 Is Truly the Year That Started It All for Her
Just as it seemed like Zara Larsson's career was stuck in neutral, she found herself on the verge of another chart breakthrough. In a stunning turn of events, the Swedish pop star has landed not one, not two, but three songs on this week's Billboard Hot 100, cementing her status as one of the most successful artists of the year.
Zara has been quietly building momentum over the past decade, with a string of top hits and collaborations that have earned her millions of fans worldwide. But it wasn't until she got creative with social media that her career really took off. A viral meme featuring her song "Symphony" sparked a new wave of attention, with users pairing the catchy hook with images of dolphins and unicorns.
The trend, which quickly went mainstream, helped Zara tap into the nostalgia of 2016 - a year that marked the beginning of her rise to stardom. Who could forget her breakout single "Never Forget You," or her sold-out world tour as an opening act for Beyoncé? Those were the days when Larsson was just starting to make waves, and now she's back on top.
Her latest album, Midnight Sun, has been a game-changer, with lead single "Pretty Ugly" setting the tone for a sonic explosion of pop. The song's music video, featuring Zara in stunning summer hues and glamorous outfits, is a love letter to '00s fashion. And just when it seemed like the song was going to stay underground, the viral hit "Symphony" reemerged on TikTok.
That's when Larsson really seized the moment, teaming up with PinkPantheress for a remix that brought both artists' styles together in perfect harmony. The resulting video, featuring Zara and PinkPantheress trying on each other's looks, was praised by critics and fans alike.
And then came the Grammy nominations, including one for Best Dance Pop Recording. But Larsson wasn't content to rest on her laurels - she invited a fan onstage at an Amsterdam tour stop to perform "Lush Life," which sparked a viral dance trend that helped her song shoot back up the charts.
It's clear that Zara has tapped into something special, a combination of nostalgia and pop savvy that's making her unstoppable. With her new album eligible for next year's Grammys, Larsson is poised to make history as one of the most successful artists of the year - a testament to her enduring talent and dedication to her craft.
