Zara Larsson's Dolphin Meme Journey to Grammy Nod

Swedish pop sensation Zara Larsson has charted a remarkable course to her first Grammy nomination, significantly influenced by a viral internet meme. The unexpected resurgence of her 2017 song 'Symphony,' driven by a TikTok trend featuring animated glitter dolphins, served as a subconscious catalyst for her latest work. This quirky internet phenomenon coincided with Larsson's desire to shed previous artistic constraints and fully embrace a vibrant, glamorous persona.

Her fifth studio album, 'Midnight Sun,' and its titular single are a testament to this newfound authenticity. Larsson, who has been releasing music since childhood, is now credited as a writer on all 10 tracks, a significant step in her artistic development. She describes 'Midnight Sun' as her most personal project to date, reflecting her genuine self and featuring her favorite song she has ever created.
