Zara Larsson wants to collaborate with Tate McRae
The 27-year-old Swedish pop star - who is supporting Tate on her Miss Possessive tour in North America and South America - thinks the Greedy hitmaker is "so talented" and would be up for collaborating with her.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday (15.06.25), Zara said: "I would love to collaborate with Tate.
"What if we like do this [Summertime Ball] on tour and make a joint album?
"I really would [love to collaborate with Tate]. I think she's so talented."
Tate's "danceable" tunes have motivated Zara to get into a dance studio and practice her choreography for the Miss Possessive Tour.
Zara - who performed her much-loved hits, including Symphony and Never Forget You, at Summertime Ball - said: "I love her music, I love the fact it's so danceable, and it's something that inspires me a lot.
"So I'm definitely going to be getting into the dance studio and rehearsing for the tour."
Tate - who sang the likes of Greedy and Revolving Door at Summertime Ball - and Zara first shot to fame by taking part in TV talent shows.
Zara won the second season of Talang, the Swedish version of the Got Talent franchise in 2008, and fears being a judge on talent shows might make her mean.
The Lush Life singer responded when asked if she would like to be a judge: "Never say never. Maybe I would be a judge on a show like that. I think that would be quite fun.
"But I like to be nice. I don't want to tell anyone they're not good. So, I would just be the positive one, probably."
Zara encourages aspiring singers to utilise the power of social media to get themselves out there.
Offering her advice to young talent, she shared: "I would just say, if you have the dreams, you can do it. Like literally, especially now because there are so many platforms where you could express your music, or your style, or your opinions, and who you are.
"So really use those platforms because - I mean, that's like my label's number one marketing thing; they're like, 'Post a TikTok.'
"And I'm like, 'OK! I guess.' So, you've just got to put yourself out there and don't be shy. And to really surround yourself with people who care about you, I would say is very important."

What can we expect from Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of a Showgirl?
Like an anti-Victoria Beckham (noted hater of her husband's football career), Taylor Swift has appeared on her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast to discuss her upcoming 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, to be released on October 3. If listening to meatheads blabber for two hours while the world's biggest star benevolently gives their viewership numbers an artificial bump isn't your idea of a good time, just know that Taylor gave us vital details around the new album. Here's our premature evaluation. The return of Taylor Swift, pure pop paragon Let's face it, The Life of a Showgirl is already on track to be Taylor Swift's third-best album thanks to two words: Max Martin. The Swedish pop supremo and his producing partner Shellback – who were responsible for the best bits on Swift's best albums, Reputation and 1989 (yes, in that order) – are the credited producers on every track on the new album, confirming what everyone suspected after Swift this week shared a Spotify playlist highlighting their biggest hits for her, from 22 to Wildest Dreams. On her boyfriend's podcast, Swift said she recorded the album in Sweden during the European leg of her Eras tour and promised 'bangers'. It proves that Taylor reads her own reviews. After the Matty Healy-yearning fizzer that was The Tortured Poets Department, the critical consensus was that her once-fruitful relationship with producer Jack Antonoff had run its course, stalled at mid-tempo moodiness, and that she needed a refresh. Returning to the glory of yore might seem a reductive move, but let's not forget that Max Martin doesn't sleep: his recent work on Ariana Grande's Eternal Sunshine and The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow – including the pre-album smash Dancing in the Flames – show he's still got the Swede-est touch. Doing it with a broken heart? The highlight of Taylor's Tortured Poets era – beyond proving she has great taste in men – was I Can Do it with a Broken Heart, the album's second single and longest-charting hit. Its success surely inspired Taylor's latest pop pivot. She added the song to her Eras tours last year, complete with a showgirl aesthetic: feathers, canes and Old Hollywood glamour, which led me to assume that Taylor loved Margot Robbie's Babylon. The Life of a Showgirl 's album cover – showing a sexy Swift near-drowning in a bathtub – seems to point to that song's ideas: the lonely grind behind the glamorous pop life. As do the album's typically evocative track titles, including The Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor and Cancelled!. Bubblegum pop with a sour centre: it's the best flavour. But is it a head fake? On the podcast, Swift said the album was inspired by the 'infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in my life' during her Eras tour and Kelce courtship, and said 'that effervescence has come through on this record'. OK, so why are you drowning in a bathtub on the cover, surrounded by the font from Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette then?
