Zara Larsson on London, Lockdown, and Staying Stimulated in 2020

The pop star guides Vogue through a week’s worth of city life, from performing at the EMAs to chilling in her garden….

For Swedish pop-star Zara Larsson, 2020 has been filled with life lessons. The 22-year-old star has been performing since her early teens and was used to working 24/7. But Larsson’s schedule—and nearly everyone else’s—ground to a halt once lockdown began. The change meant more time to spend with friends and family while at home  but it also allowed Larsson the space to evaluate what it means to be busy. “I always want something stimulating, and I feel my best when I’m busy and have a purpose [so] it’s been hard during these times,” she shared via Zoom from Stockholm. “This year has taught me a little about myself. I understand now that my worth isn’t tied to how productive I am.” 

Things may have slowed down, but when it’s time to put on a show, Larsson goes all out. Last month for MTV’s European Music Awards in London, Larsson brought the house down with an epic performance of her single “Wow” complete with choreography by JaQuel Knight. While in town, Larsson settled back into a busier schedule. She had a few recording sessions, put the finishing touches on a forthcoming music video, and enjoyed a little downtime in her artsy Airbnb. Documenting each moment with photographer Michaela Quan, Larsson threw herself into a special diary for Vogue

Though it’s clear she’s found ways to stay stimulated, Larsson is eager to get back to doing what she loves. “As an artist, you have an existential crisis when you aren’t working,” she says. “But I think that hopefully next year, we’re going to get back to some form of normalcy. I’ve learned that I need routines, I need people around me who ground me, and [to be] doing what I love. 2020 has been tricky, but I know I’m not the only one who feels that.”

Cardi B’s $60K Birkin Bag Gets The ‘Mommy Treatment’ As Daughter Unleashes Her Creativity

Honk Magazine

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.

Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags. However, as any parent knows, kids have a skill for creating chaos even in the most cherished parts of life. For Cardi, that chaos includes her high-priced accessories. The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.

But Cardi’s frustration didn’t stop there. She later took to Twitter to respond to comments made by Kanye West regarding her staying power in the spotlight. While she didn’t mention him directly, her tweet, “7 years 1 album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music!!!” sent a clear message. She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.
