BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE...

ARE YOU

FOLLOWING

ZARA?

COSMOPOLITAN March 2016 15

Fact: it takes a while for things to trickle

down to Australia, tucked all the way

down here, but Zara Larsson is the next

big thing. Quick rundown: she’s been at it

nearly as long as Adele, after winning

Sweden’s version of ...Got Talent in 2008

and she had the song(s) of the summer

• Lush Life and Never Forget You. You
  should be clicking on the blue tick, stat.

HARRY

STYLES

IS A FAN

SHE BROKE

THE WEB

WITH A

CONDOM

SHE

LIKES THE

F-WORD

Hazza’s mate directed

one of her fi lmclips so he

tweeted about it. Then

Sam Smith went social

media giddy on her.

ZARA SAYS: “I can’t lie, I

get like Ahhhhh – Harry

knows I exist! But when

Sam Smith posted a

picture of me I was this

close to crying.”

When Zara posted a pic

of a condom unravelled

up the length of her leg,

the internet lost its mind.*

ZARA SAYS: “My friends

had boyfriends telling

them, ‘I can’t wear a

condom because I’m too

big’. I was like, You’re

not!” *And who knew

you could fi t something

that large in a rubber?

*cough* turn to page 122

*cough*.

Feminism, that is. She

knows the good word,

and she isn’t afraid to

let loose on the world.

ZARA SAYS: “Feminism is

something I live for and

it’s great to actually talk

about it. It’s getting more

mainstream – a couple of

years ago people weren’t

really that into it.”
