Zara Larsson's Blunt Celebrity Criticisms
13 Apr
Summary
- Zara Larsson criticized Taylor Swift's fans for caring about charts.
- She previously urged Taylor Swift to be more politically outspoken.
- Larsson also feuded with Chris Brown and James Charles.
Swedish singer Zara Larsson, known for her upbeat music, has demonstrated a no-nonsense attitude by sharing blunt opinions about celebrities. This has led to public scrutiny and feuds.
Most recently, Larsson found herself in hot water with Taylor Swift's fan base, the Swifties. She commented that few people care about music charts anymore, except perhaps Taylor Swift fans. This remark ignited outrage online, prompting Larsson to clarify on Instagram that she admires Swift's chart-topping success and wasn't intending an insult.
Larsson's outspoken nature isn't new. In 2017, she encouraged Swift to adopt a more inclusive and intersectional feminist stance and be more politically vocal. She also expressed disapproval of Chris Brown in 2016, citing his past conviction for assault, and in 2019, she claimed YouTuber James Charles sent inappropriate DMs to her ex-boyfriend, later regretting her involvement.
In 2021, Larsson publicly dismissed her creative director, Ryder Ripps, after his ex-fiancé exposed body-shaming messages he sent about Larsson. More recently, in 2023, she addressed a TikToker's satirical video that implied she used homophobic slurs, asserting her allyship with the LGBTQ+ community.
