Zara Larsson may be having the year of a lifetime, but she would like the record to show that this is not her first rodeo.

In a new interview with Perfect Magazine, Larsson revealed that her former label considered submitting her for Best New Artist at the Grammys amid the groundswell surrounding Midnight Sun. The only problem is that Larsson's been releasing music for over a decade.

“I don’t even want that,” Larsson said. “That would downplay the 13 years of me being an artist. I’m not a new artist.”

“Breakthrough,” however, she can live with, admitting that she had big songs before, but "it never felt like one song was building up to something bigger. It felt like I had these big songs, and they weren’t really tied to my artistry."

Midnight Sun has given Larsson a fully legible pop identity. Online, fans have crowned her the “first white Beyoncé daughter,” a tongue-in-cheek compliment to her increasingly muscular live performances, choreography, and commitment to good old-fashioned pop-star spectacle.

That attention has spilled beyond her own catalog. Larsson’s remix of PinkPantheress’ “Stateside” became another major crossover moment, and earlier this month, the pair finally performed it together for the first time at London’s All Points East. Larsson introduced the surprise appearance by declaring that the crowd was watching “herstory."

The sudden rush of cultural affection has even inspired the internet to declare that Larsson has escaped the so-called “Khia Asylum,” stan slang for pop stars deemed commercially or culturally irrelevant. But Larsson’s own measure of success is less terminally online.

“For me, the ultimate success would be a stadium world tour,” she also told Perfect. “People have taken time out of their real lives. They paid money to experience this with their friends, and I get to be on stage and sing live.”

"The live culture of it all is what I really, really care about," she continued.

"And what’s been so amazing about 'Midnight Sun' is I feel like it’s gone beyond just a good album or a good song. People are being invited into my world by putting on their outfits and their flowers and the glitter and the colours. The culture around it is how I feel successful.”
