Zara Larsson is explaining why she doesn’t think a collaboration with Max Martin is right for her.
The 28-year-old Swedish pop star appeared on the latest episode of Las Culturistas with Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, where she was asked if she would ever make a full album with the legendary Swedish producer.
“I don’t think so,” Zara said, while making it clear that she has a lot of respect for Max.
“That is someone to look up to for me…obviously he’s the best songwriter in the world and he just keeps getting number ones,” she added. “But I don’t know if that way of working is for me.”
Instead, she explained that she wants to keep working with the collaborators she has already built a close creative relationship with, including MNEK, Margo XS and Helena Gao. The three all worked with Zara on her Midnight Sun era.
“That’s where the magic comes from, not to try and look for it in Max Martin…I think me and Max could make an amazing song or album, but I know he will affect me in a way which would make me be a little bit smaller,” Zara said.
She explained that her respect for Max might make it harder for her to push back creatively.
“I respect him so much,” Zara continued. “I know he has these huge songs and has so much knowledge that I would feel like whatever he says goes.”
Max has written and produced major hits for artists including Britney Spears, Robyn, Backstreet Boys, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande and The Weeknd. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2017.
Watch Zara Larsson explain her decision on Las Culturistas below.
“I was dating him in 2020 and found out we were no longer together by seeing on snapchat daily mail that he went public with a more famous woman lmaooo. he is an absolute joke of a human being,” she wrote.
Olivia also responded to another commenter, saying, “not sure how he has the time considering we were texting 24 hours a day and falling asleep on facetime when we weren’t together. busy boy! lmfao.”
Gossip blogger Deuxmoi (via Cosmopolitan) had posted a tip that said, “I have it on good authority that Pete and Phoebe [Dynevor] are in fact an item. He ended things with B-list pop star/influencer he had been seeing before Phoebe.”
Speaking on it during the podcast, Olivia said she couldn’t believe they found out.
“I cannot believe you guys found that, that’s really crazy, you’re the first people to ever ask me about that and I really thought that no one knew about that. Breaking news. Oh, god. Two years later,” she said.
“It’s bad, and it makes me sad, you know. And girls are just talking to themselves on there, and they’re like, ‘Okay, come get ready with me.’ And I’m like, ‘Who the **** are you? What do you do? Nothing. What the **** is this?,'” he shared.”They make 40 million a year. What? And then I’m like, ‘The world’s broken.'”
He continued, “There’s girls my age that go on TikTok, and they’ll, like, mutter like a thing and then do this, like, dance. And I’m like, ‘What the *** are you doing?’ This is insane. Does no one else see how ******* insane and lame this is? And these girls are like super famous. Like, everyone’s like, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe.'”
Many commenters, both influencers and non-influencers, had thoughts on his comments.
Many pointed out that if more men were fashion influencers, it would be considered an acceptable career.
Others pointed out that Pete dated Kim Kardashian.
In his new interview with Variety, the 32-year-old comedian and Saturday Night Live alum spoke about removing the majority of his tattoos, revealing he got many of them to cover-up past self-harm scars.
“I used to cut, so some of [the tattoos] covered up the cuts,” he shared.
In the new interview, Pete went into further detail about why he decided to remove the majority of his tattoos.
“One, they were f***in’ horrible. Two, it was a business decision,” he explained. “I hated coming into the makeup trailer three hours early to spray-paint over horrible f***in’ tattoos. And third, I was like, ‘I’m not this dude.’ I got these when I was in an immense amount of pain and I was trying to show people my pain.”
He once again confirmed that he’s keeping the Hillary Clinton tattoo he got on his right leg back in 2017.
“She stays. That’s my dog,” Pete said. “I love Hillary, man. She’s awesome and a good friend.”
Also in his new interview, Pete revealed his drug of choice while sharing an update on his sobriety journey.
If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, emotional distress, alcohol or drug use concerns, or just need someone to talk to, you can reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.
Pete Davidson is speaking out about his dating history.
Specifically, the 32-year-old SNL alum spoke out about Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian, two of his very famous ex girlfriends.
Pete addressed the media’s fixation on his dating history: “What the **** do I have to do? And look, I get it — I’ve dated a lot of people. But so has everyone else! Everyone is ******* everyone in this business! Everyone! And for some reason it’s zeroed in on me, and I can’t feel sorry for myself because I put myself in those situations, but everyone else is doing it. I was in my 20s. Am I not supposed to **** around and do drugs and have fun and be in Hollywood like everybody else? Sorry, everyone!” he told Variety.
He also revealed where he stands with Ariana today, and what he thinks of the public scrutiny surrounding her in recent months.
He was also asked about dating Kim Kardashian and feuding publicly with her ex Kanye West.
We’re breaking down what he said about Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian.
