Zara Larsson says she would love to make a “joint album” with Tate McRae.
The 27-year-old Swedish pop star – currently supporting Tate on her Miss Possessive tour across North and South America – praised the “Greedy” hitmaker as “so talented” and said she’d be open to working together.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at Capital’s Summertime Ball with Barclaycard at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday (15.06.25), Zara said: “I would love to collaborate with Tate. “What if we like do this [Summertime Ball] on tour and make a joint album?
“I really would [love to collaborate with Tate]. I think she’s so talented.”
Tate’s “danceable” songs have even inspired Zara to step up her choreography rehearsals for the Miss Possessive tour. Zara – who performed hits like “Symphony” and “Never Forget You” at Summertime Ball – added: “I love her music, I love the fact it’s so danceable, and it’s something that inspires me a lot.
“So I’m definitely going to be getting into the dance studio and rehearsing for the tour.” Tate – who sang crowd-pleasers like “Greedy” and “Revolving Door” – shares a similar start in music with Zara, as both rose to fame through TV talent shows.
Zara won the second season of Talang, Sweden’s Got Talent in 2008, and though she’s open to judging talent shows, she fears being too harsh.
When asked if she’d consider judging, she replied: “Never say never. Maybe I would be a judge on a show like that. I think that would be quite fun.
“But I like to be nice. I don’t want to tell anyone they’re not good. So, I would just be the positive one, probably.”
Zara also encouraged young artists to harness the power of social media.
Offering advice to aspiring singers, she said: “I would just say, if you have the dreams, you can do it. Like literally, especially now because there are so many platforms where you could express your music, or your style, or your opinions, and who you are. “So really use those platforms because – I mean, that’s like my label’s number one marketing thing; they’re like, ‘Post a TikTok.’ “And I’m like, ‘OK! I guess.’ So, you’ve just got to put yourself out there and don’t be shy. And to really surround yourself with people who care about you, I would say is very important.”
