We have like a..
0:01
Can you do that? Yeah, hobisbon. Hobisbon. Yesterday I got the biggest surprise of my life
0:12
I've got news for you. Yes? You're interviewing Zara Larson. How exciting is that
0:21
Oh, I'm speechless. With the help of my friend Finley, we're going to do our biggest interview yet
0:28
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done on a girl's trip? I can't say that here
0:34
I hope she likes Sean to see. I'm going to ask her to do a TikTok
0:44
I've been waiting for this moment. It's not too long time. I've never heard of her
0:47
I'm Cece
0:58
And I'm Finlay. And we're Heart Showbiz Kids. This may be our most exciting interview ever
1:04
and this might be the best day of my life, literally. She's a global superstar, a singer, and an absolute legend
1:11
Give her a big round of applause. Sarah Love. I'm applauding you guys for that introduction
1:20
That was really nice. You guys are very professional. Yeah. Yeah. We try to be
1:26
Absolutely. What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done on a girl's trip? I can't say that here
1:33
Maybe I've been driving a little bit too fast on the roads
1:38
Yeah. I'm not a very good driver, but I love to drive. But a lot of my friends, they beg me to not get behind the wheel
1:43
So usually my sister gets to drive because none of my friends want to be in the car
1:49
Yeah, they don't want to be in the car with me. I've always wanted to drive. I know
1:53
I've always been excited about wanting to drive. I don't know why. I think you'll be a good driver
1:57
Thank you. Yeah, you give me good driver energy. I always rent. I actually don't own a car
2:02
Yeah. Do you not? I don't, no. I have a question if I should put Puss Puss 97 on the number plate
2:07
But then I realized I don't have a car. So that would be hard
2:11
But when I get a car, I'll put plus plus 97 on the number plate
2:15
We heard you like Yorkshire puddings when you went on Snack Wars. I love Yorkshire puddings
2:22
Do you love Yorkshire puddings? Oh, wow! Oh. Why are they so good
2:31
Do you like them? The Yorkshire. Yum. And... A little bit of gravy
2:38
We asked, but obviously nobody. You did? You asked? Yes. You're funny
2:45
I'm from Yorkshire, and I brought some Yorkshire tea. Thank you. Legend
2:52
And a Terry's chocolate orange. Ooh. Guys, I'm having a feast. Do you want to join me
3:00
Go on, then. We want some digestive... You know what we say in Sweden? I didn know these were called digestives until I got here we call them digestive digestive kicks oh wait oh you have to dunk oh of course silly me silly me we ate the digestive on a scale of one to ten it does it a
3:19
time i like the one with chocolate even more oh but they're a bit tricky to maybe dip in the tea
3:25
like this is like perfect for tea dipping and now the final thing a terry's chocolate wow what's
3:31
this them it's like a chocolate orange oh my god it's beautiful hmm wow I've never seen this
3:37
no they're really good you want one yeah sure you want one as well thank you oh that's very
3:44
that's yummy like a bit of freshness for me I'd rate 10 10 20 oh
3:53
so what's it about jerseys is it like a blend or is it the fact that it's milk in it
3:58
Tea in England is very popular. Yeah. And the Yorkshire tea is probably the best of the best
4:04
But why? It just tastes good. Because it's from Yorkshire. Yes. Yes
4:10
OK, I can get behind that. This is very good. Do you have Swedish tea
4:15
I don't think we do. Maybe I should start a blend. Ooh
4:20
Some, like, regional leaves. A blend trend. A blend trend. I would love to keep talking about tea
4:25
but I think we need to answer the questions now. You've collaborated with loads of amazing women
4:32
Yes. For Girls Trip. Yes. Who's your favorite to work with and who is your dream collaboration
4:37
Oh, it was really fun to make the album because we did it in so many different ways
4:42
Like some people just send in their verse after we've spoken like on DMs
4:47
And then other people I was in the studio with and like wrote the song together with like Madison Beer and Eli
4:53
Do you like Madison? Emilia. And Shakira. Hello. no we had such a good time and me and tyla we were just hanging out she was playing me all her
5:05
songs in the studio and uh it was just like a really fun way to do it because sometimes when
5:10
you collaborate with people usually how i've done it before is that your people talk to my people
5:14
like you send a file and you know they put it in the song and then you actually never see each other
5:18
but i really love the fact that i got to to be very physically there for almost all the songs
5:25
but I had a really good time with Eli. That was a really fun session
5:30
And then I also really loved what Pink Pantheris did to the Midnight Sun track
5:35
She's such a good producer. Yes, I really like that. I feel like it was very inspiring to watch her make the track
5:48
Because she's such a good producer. So that made me want to produce
5:53
Is it true? What if you weren't a singer, you wanted to be a teacher
5:57
Yes, it's true. Do you think you can teach us some Swedish
6:01
I can. What do you want to know? How do you say showbiz kids? Oh
6:09
I feel like, you know what's boring about that? I feel like sometimes English have such good words that we steal them We would probably still say showbiz Let me think Kids is bon Bon So like show Maybe like we have like a h
6:25
Can you do that? H. Ho. Yeah, showbiz bon. Showbiz bon. That's enough
6:35
Hey, welcome. Hey, welcome, yes. You two get along like digestives and teeth
6:41
Hey, look at that. What actually is a midnight sun? Well, let me tell you
6:49
So if you go above the Arctic Circle or whatever, there's the north and the south of it all
6:56
in the summertime, the sun never sets. Isn't that crazy? So a midnight sun is just a sun that's up at night
7:05
Isn't that crazy? So does it not go dark? No. Oh. It just stays like this
7:11
Isn't that crazy? But then in the wintertime it's the opposite so the Sun never goes up. Oh, so just stays dark
7:18
Isn't that terrible? I mean yeah That's like the English weather Can you sing the midnight sunrise? Yes, you want me to do right now? Yes. You want to sing with me? Yes
7:41
That was amazing. You have such a pretty voice. Thank you. That was so beautiful
7:51
I can hear that. I can't wait to interview you in a few years, maybe
7:56
Maybe. Yeah. When you're a superstar pop star. A few years ago, I had a bad voice
8:01
So I was like, Isn't that stressful? Yeah. You'll be fine. Thank you. Yeah
8:08
How is it like meeting Beyonce? I met Beyonce one time and that was after her concert in Stockholm and I'm a really really big
8:15
fan of Beyonce so I was like crying and like I just lost it I just wasn't prepared to feel those
8:22
many like emotions that I did but I think I was very overwhelmed and um very starstruck like she's
8:29
the only one that I've met where I've really um lost all composure I guess you could say
8:35
I think now if I met her, I would try to keep it more cool
8:40
Yeah, totally. But at that point, it was just the right thing to do
8:46
It felt like the right thing to do, to cry. Just got stunned. Really
8:51
And sometimes crying is like, it's such a release in a way
8:56
Is it true you used to perform in schools? And what is the craziest thing that's happened at one of those concerts
9:02
I did. I did perform in schools. I performed in my school, whatever there was the stage I performed
9:07
But then I did some sort of like a radio tour in America right when I was kind of starting out
9:12
when I released Never Forget You and it was doing well on the radio there. I did forget you. Exactly
9:16
And then we had to like go around on this promo run and we did that in a bunch of schools
9:22
And sometimes kids they like try to be funny So I had a few grapes thrown on me oh yeah yeah oh no flashbacks
9:35
that was quite yummy yeah what else have happened honestly i've been performing
9:43
in really like weird locations sometimes it's been two people in the crowd which one of them
9:52
are my mom and i think you just have to to do those things to like build character to build grit
10:00
and stamina because not everything is going to be like beautiful big stage but then when you reach
10:07
the beautiful big stage you feel really prepared and you also feel really thankful for the hard
10:13
work that you put in yeah zara i've got a little gift thank you wow i'm getting spoiled
10:19
Oh my god, look at that! Oh, we're matching! Cute! And then a beautiful keychain
10:29
And another bracelet! Did you make this? Yes, I did. Thank you so much. That's very, very kind
10:36
Wow, guys! Thank you so much! You're welcome. That's so kind. This was you when you were ten. Wow
10:44
What would you say to young Zara? Isn't it funny how I'm wearing my name
10:48
name yeah and zara the store used to have those shirts really and i was like can i have them for
10:54
free because my name is zara and they were like no so i have to buy them but i was 10 and i would
11:01
say and i'm telling you right now try to write your songs i would tell myself to write my songs
11:07
earlier because it's really really fun and i think you discover a lot of stuff um about yourself and
11:13
what you like and what you're into so I would tell you to try to write songs for fun and that's
11:21
probably what I would tell myself yeah but I'm very proud of this girl for always believing and
11:27
always dreaming I would just say keep going I know that's my sister hello how old are you guys now Ten
