Swedish pop sensation Zara Larsson, who burst onto the music scene at age 10 after winning a TV talent show in her homeland, is set to release her fifth album, "Midnight Sun," this Friday. Speaking exclusively to Biz on Sunday, Larsson revealed a remarkably grounded perspective on her body, asserting she has never felt body insecurity. This outlook, she explains, is rooted in growing up in a family and social circle where nudity was common. She elaborated, "I’ve always been very neutral towards my body and in my body. I think it’s because I come from a very naked family. And all my friends, we were always naked around each other." Even rigorous ballet school training, involving standing in front of mirrors in tight leotards, didn't foster body hang-ups, as she believes her body "doesn’t have to exist in the context of it being sexual or it having to look pretty."

Despite experiencing natural weight fluctuations, Zara remains indifferent to them, expressing hope to maintain this mindset as she ages or has children, acknowledging that her body will change. She credits her brain for focusing on other priorities. In a notable segment from the music video for her new track "Crush," Zara donned a bodysuit designed to create the illusion of an exaggerated, aesthetically enhanced posterior. Reflecting on the experience, she found it surprisingly natural after a day of wearing what she called a "huge diaper," a perception quickly corrected by her boyfriend, Lamin Holmen. Larsson also observed the rising trend of enhanced bodies online, noting how rapidly her own perception adjusted to normalize such an extreme look.

Beyond her musical endeavors, Zara Larsson is also contemplating her future with long-term dancer boyfriend, Lamin Holmen, with whom she has shared a five-year relationship. While a wedding is a possibility—she described it as "cute" and "just a party"—she views it more for fun memories than as a singular day for personal adornment, given her regular exposure to glamour. The couple also shares aspirations of starting a family, though Zara humorously acknowledged the logistical challenges, quipping, "You know, Mommy’s on tour." Despite their demanding schedules, they strive to maintain their relationship, and fans will be pleased to learn that Lamin will join Zara on her European "Midnight Sun" Tour, which commences in Germany in October, performing as part of special guest Omar Rudberg's show.

In other exciting entertainment news, global music icon Taylor Swift is gearing up for the release of her 12th album, "The Life Of A Showgirl," which will arrive in cinemas next month on October 3. Alongside the album's debut, a film titled "The Official Release Party Of A Showgirl" will offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the record's creation. Swifties are promised a "dazzling soiree" that includes the world premiere of the music video for her new single, "The Fate Of Ophelia," along with never-before-seen footage, insights into musical inspirations, and new lyric videos. Taylor, who has chosen a vibrant orange to represent the record, encouraged fans to "brush off that Eras Tour outfit" and engage in optional but highly encouraged dancing. She emphasized the luxurious design of the album's physical editions, noting photocards in CDs and unique poems and extensive imagery in vinyls, all intended as a "nod to the luxury that a showgirl puts on when she is on stage."

Meanwhile, former "Strictly Come Dancing" partners Pete Wicks and professional dancer Jowita Przystal made headlines with a surprising public display of affection. The pair locked lips three times during a performance at London’s O2 Arena. This came after weeks of secretly rehearsing for Pete’s appearance at his live "Staying Relevant" podcast, co-hosted with Sam Thompson. Despite Pete’s representatives insisting they are not dating, sources close to the event claimed the kiss confirmed their romance, describing "love was definitely in the air" and that they were "very physical with each other." Their close bond since their time on the BBC One show together was evident, suggesting the spark between them remains. The podcast event also featured other notable guests including Peter Andre, Vicky Pattison, Marvin Humes, and James Buckley, with co-host Sam Thompson expressing ambitions to perform at Wembley Stadium next year.

Finally, "Love Island" star Georgia Harrison, who is expecting her first baby this year with boyfriend Jack Stacey, has found a unique application for the celebrity dating app Raya. Despite being in a committed relationship, Harrison has signed up for the app not to seek romance, but to broaden her friendship circle and gather recommendations. Her profile explicitly states, "I fell in love on Raya and now I’m just here for recommendations," listing interests such as nightswimming, long walks, road trips, and healings. The reality star also included a picture of herself outside 10 Downing Street, referencing her ongoing campaign against violence towards women and girls, a cause she passionately champions following her personal experience with a revenge porn court case. It seems Georgia is looking for a supportive community of friends to navigate her new journey.
