I just embody it, and then people can join. It feels so fun to be honored as the Breakthrough of the Year by Billboard Women in Music, \u2019cause I\u2019ve been doing this for a long time, but I feel like this year has really been an incredible year for me personally and in my career. To see that that\u2019s being recognized from outside of my little bubble of where I work is so amazing. Moments for me, for the last year, have definitely been my collaboration with PinkPantheress for \u201cStateside.\u201d And then, of course, <em>Midnight Sun. <\/em>Releasing that, seeing how people were reacting to it. It\u2019s interesting because, you know, Billboard is also the charts, how people are, how much they\u2019re buying and streaming and all of that. <em>Midnight Sun,<\/em> for me, has been just as successful as my previous releases before, but the biggest difference for me is that I feel like it\u2019s everything around the song that people are, like, engaging with, like coming to my shows, you know? I finally am playing so much live, so seeing, like, real people coming to my shows in the venues and they dress up, or they make videos to my songs. I feel like people are engaging a lot more with my music, and that\u2019s so fulfilling to me, because through all of this, I just really wanna connect with people. It\u2019s been so incredible to see how it\u2019s all coming together and I get to see people come into my world that I\u2019ve built over the past year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Keep watching for more!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billboard Women in Music 2026 Breakthrough honoree Zara Larsson opens up about her Midnight Sun lifestyle.
