Zara Larsson's life 'is not as glamorous as people might think'

Zara's bedtime is 6am. Her days off? Two. On the entire US tour...

Zara - who released her latest album, Midnight Sun, last year - told Vogue Singapore: "Sometimes I forget that to go hard you have to rest hard.

"It’s not as glamorous as people might think. When everyone goes to sleep, my second ‘workday’ starts where I’m listening and commenting on production for the remix album, going through notes for creative decks, looking at merch, basically anything creative that I can do from my computer. When the clock hits 6am, I try to go to sleep.

"On the US tour, I think I had two days off so most days sort of blended into each other, like I was in a strange magical bubble."

Zara is currently on tour in Europe, and she still loves the experience of performing live for her fans.

The Crush hitmaker also revealed that she feels "grateful" for all of her success.

She said: "Performing live is my biggest passion, so it’s been quite emotional and very rewarding."

"You can look at numbers online, but when a room gets bigger because more people want to come and dance and sing with you, that’s something different. It feels like people are not just listening, they’re rooting for me. I feel very grateful."
