Zara Larsson reveals she’s blocked certain artists on Spotify

Zara Larsson has revealed that she has blocked a number of artists on her personal Spotify.

The Swedish pop star answered a series of quickfire questions for a filmed interview with Cosmopolitan magazine.

One of them asked her to name an artist that would never be found on one of her playlists.

“There are so many artists I have blocked on Spotify,” she responded. “You certainly wouldn’t find a Chris Brown song. Bye!”

Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting his ex-girlfriend, pop superstar Rihanna, in 2009. In June 2017, Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran was issued a restraining order against the singer for five years after alleging in court that he sent her violent threats over text.

In the same interview, Larsson gave her honest opinions about music, her biggest social media regrets, and the tours she never wants to relive.

The “Midnight Sun” singer is famously outspoken, much to the delight of her fans who praised Larsson in the comments section on YouTube.

“I love her raw honesty and authenticity… she is everything to me,” one fan wrote.

“She is so unfiltered,” another person remarked, while one said: “The way she called out Chris Brown needs to be studied.”

Larsson recently went viral after pleading with fans to stop changing the photo on her Wikipedia page.

“Whoever the f*** is changing this f***ing Wikipedia picture to this picture, stop! Stop doing it. Stop doing it,” she said in a TikTok.

“I will never stop,” she continued. “I will never stop changing that picture to a nice one, I will never stop. You can stop, because I will never stop.”

The clip then shows Larsson and a friend scrolling through Google images to find the image she wants to have on her Wikipedia page.

“I’m being so for real, cut it out,” she said.

Unfortunately, since Larsson posted her TikTok, fans have apparently been trolling her by changing the image to other older pictures.

Larsson released her fifth studio album, Midnight Sun, to positive reviews on 26 September last year. The record marked her fourth No 1 in Sweden and also charted in the top 40 in the UK and other countries around the world.
