On Macklemore, Zara says she relates to what it means for an artist to speak publicly about what they believe and still have fans who trust where they are coming from. She talks about the value of an audience knowing the person behind the pop machine, while making clear that for her it comes down to trying to be a good person and being honest about what matters to her.

Then the conversation swings back to the stage. Zara says the viral moments fans have been creating at her concerts are the kind of things she cannot plan — which is exactly why they hit. A huge crowd moment, somebody getting pulled into the action, or thousands of people moving together becomes part of that particular night rather than another piece of choreography copied city to city.

She also gets into the physical side of keeping that energy up, sharing the secret behind her workout routine and the work that goes into making the onstage ease look, well, easy. That fits right alongside what she says about her band: even songs fans have heard a million times get new arrangements so the live show can still feel fresh.

And then there is “Blue Moon.” Zara is very much not done with it. She has said she sees the song as Midnight Sun’s sister and wants it to receive more love, including a proper video and a chance to grow into its own moment rather than simply disappear into the album track list.

So while the viral clips keep rolling and the next era starts peeking around the corner, Zara is still squeezing everything she can out of the current one. Very pop star. Very practical. Very “this song is not done yet.”

Catch the full conversation for Zara on fan trust, Macklemore, her workout routine, viral concert moments and the continuing campaign for “Blue Moon.”
