Zara Larsson looks back: ‘I worried my career might be over already, aged 10’

Born in Stockholm in 1997, pop star Zara Larsson first shot to fame in 2008 as the winner of Talang, otherwise known as Sweden’s Got Talent. She signed to Ten Records in Sweden at the age of 14, and enjoyed homegrown success until her career launched internationally in 2014. Aside from her own albums, including the platinum-selling So Good, which remains one of the most-streamed debuts by a female artist on Spotify, her vocals have featured on hit singles such as Clean Bandit’s Symphony and Tinie Tempah’s Girls Like. Larsson’s new album, Venus, is out now.

This photo is me celebrating winning Sweden’s Got Talent. What was going through my mind? Probably just,“Weeeee!” – I was excited but not surprised. Throughout the whole competition, I knew I had a good chance.
