The pop princess opens up about fame, fashion, confidence, cultural moments, and reclaiming her artistic identity on “Call Her Daddy.”
Pop princess Zara Larsson sits down with the Call Her Daddy podcast — streaming on SiriusXM, YouTube, and more — for one of her most candid, funny, and revealing interviews to date. Host Alex Cooper guides Zara through a conversation that spans fame, fashion, confidence, cultural impact, and the long road to feeling fully in control of her artistry.
A compact side edit for a Zara moment that feels bright, candid, and fully in her own pop-girl lane.

Zara admits that despite the viral moments and rising visibility, her day‑to‑day life feels surprisingly normal. She’s still on tour, still grinding, still waking up the same — except now every post, every comment, and every offhand remark is under a much bigger microscope. Fame hasn’t changed her routine, but it’s definitely changed the noise around her.
One of the most emotional moments comes when she talks about Alysa Liu skating to “Symphony” and “PinkPantheress × Zara” at the Olympics. Zara watched the clip over and over with friends, getting more emotional each time. Seeing Alysa so free, joyful, and fully in her body hit her harder than any chart milestone. “That felt bigger than the charts,” she says. “It felt cultural.”

She reaches out to women she admires with pure love — “queen, hey queen” — and gets replies she once never imagined.
Zara and Alex dive into the Dolphin Trend, the hyper‑colorful, glitter‑coded TikTok aesthetic that accidentally became part of Zara’s 2024 visual universe. She admits the dolphins were “probably on the mood board,” even if subconsciously. The rainbow‑bright dolphins paired with emotional captions became a perfect “juxtaposition” that matched her love of glam, sparkle, and maximalism — a side she once felt pressured to repress growing up in minimalist Sweden.
Then comes the moment fans will be talking about: Zara breaks silence on the “Kia Asylum.” She describes it as the place where pop girls with massive hits but “little cultural identity” get stuck — songs everyone knows, but faces people don’t connect to. She explains how she always felt she had more to offer than just hits, and how this new era is the first time she feels fully in control: writing her music, shaping her visuals, designing her shows, and letting her personality lead.
She opens up about being chronically online, spending hours on TikTok, and even searching her own name — sometimes for validation, sometimes to confirm her worst thoughts on a bad day. She talks about deleting Twitter after being called a flop “50 times a day,” and how she’s learned to let go of shame, embrace fun, and stop being so hard on herself.
And yes — she even tells the full, hilarious saga of her Wikipedia beef, where she fought editors over an “ugly photo,” sent videos proving she owned the replacement image, and changed it “20 times” before the page was finally locked.
It’s Zara at her most honest, most self‑aware, and most entertaining — a full portrait of an artist stepping into her power.
