The Jabberwocky of Doubt
Anxiety is a heavy crown. Zara Larsson found herself wandering through a tea party of insecurity, fretting that her meticulously crafted verses for the remix of 'Stateside' had been tossed into the snark’s lair to make room for the legendary glitter of Kylie Minogue.
A Tea Party in Middle America
Silence breeds the most terrible monsters. While she was opening for Tate McRae's Miss Possessive Tour in the shifting squares of middle America, the Swedish pop star feared her contribution was secretly disliked despite the initial whimsey of the invitation. If only the echoes. Perhaps the remix. One word changed everything. A simple DM consisting of the single word 'Queen' preceded the invitation to join the 'Fancy Some More?' project, cementing a bond between two artists who celebrate the unapologetic nature of their own genius.
The Looking-Glass Success
The charts never lie. Released in October 2025, 'Stateside' climbed the Billboard Hot 100 with the grace of a flamingo in a croquet match, eventually culminating in a music video release on January 15 that silenced every whispering fear of replacement. Intelligence is often a lonely place. Larsson describes her collaborator as a very smart and funny individual who navigates the industry with an independence that is as rare as a looking-glass that tells the truth. The remix remains. This partnership proves that when one says 'Duh' to a brilliant idea, the result is a melody that lingers long after the tea has gone cold.
