Zara Larsson is still wrapping her head around a milestone moment in her career, and she’s being refreshingly honest about what comes next.

After her studio album Midnight Sun earned critical acclaim following its September release, its viral title track went on to secure a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Pop Recording at the 2026 ceremony. 

It marks Larsson’s first-ever nod from the Recording Academy, a moment she describes as both surreal and deeply validating.

As excitement builds around the nomination, the Swedish pop star is already imagining what it might feel like to be in the room on music’s biggest night. 

But when it comes to having a Grammys acceptance speech ready, Larsson says she’s taking a very human approach. 

“I haven’t really prepared a speech, like, word for word,” she shared during a recent conversation with PEOPLE. Instead, she’s been picturing the emotional weight of the moment, not the exact words she’d say.

Larsson admitted she’s never attended the Grammys before, which adds to the mystery. She doesn’t know where she’ll sit, what the stage looks like, or even what she’ll wear. 

What she does know is that if she were to prepare anything, gratitude would come first. 

She wants to acknowledge the many people who helped bring Midnight Sun to life, calling it “like a whole village, basically, that makes the dream come true.”

Still, Larsson isn’t putting pressure on herself to be polished or perfect.

“But I think I will just take it in. The words don’t matter that much,” she said candidly. 

Then, in true Zara fashion, she joked, “What if I just go up and f—ing laugh for two minutes? People are like, ‘Should we call someone?’ Like, f—.”

Whether the win happens this year or later down the line, Larsson is certain of one thing. 

“I think it’s going to be f—ing crazy if it happens — or when it happens. One day it will happen, period.”

For now, the nomination itself is a powerful moment, signaling that Midnight Sun has truly connected—and that Zara Larsson’s long-held Grammy dream is closer than ever.

Katie Price looked super excited to be back on the Isle of Wight over the festive period, sharing videos and photos of her trip to her fans. 

The former glamour model, whose mum lives in Gurnard, posted on her Facebook page to say: ‘Our new year all together as a family was special.’

Among the many stunning moments were photos of her family out for a meal at restaurant The Coast, on Shooters Hill, in Cowes.

However, her eldest son Harvey Price, mum Amy and stepfather Paul were also present.

In one video Katie posted, she said: ‘At the Isle of Wight, the whole family are here and it’s present time!

She also visited back in July and in February, when she was seen out and about in Cowes town centre once again.

She has previously been spotted at the Isle of Wight Festival. It comes after the former glamour model will now share the screen with her daughter for the first time and has already started filming.

Sources have claimed that both Peter Andre and Katie have been involved in the new series.

Katie has been filming some scenes for the new series of The Princess Diaries, a source said. 

Last year, Katie told fans she was “not allowed” to be on the show.

Zara Larsson is having a defining moment in her career, and it’s one she’s been working toward for years. 

The Swedish pop star has earned her first-ever Grammy nomination, a milestone that arrives as her music continues to reach new heights. 

Her third studio album, Midnight Sun, released in September, has been widely praised, and its title track has now landed a nomination for Best Dance Pop Recording at the 2026 Grammy Awards.

Speaking with PEOPLE about the recognition, Larsson didn’t hide how meaningful the moment feels. 

“I just feel very seen. I feel very validated in my artistic direction,” she said, reflecting on what the nomination represents after years of dedication and growth. 

For Larsson, the honour goes beyond trophies and headlines. 

She described a Grammy as a symbol of respect from fellow creatives in the industry, emphasizing that it’s voted on by people who truly understand the craft.

The singer admitted that while the nomination feels surreal, she also had confidence in the song from the very beginning. 

“I had so much faith and confidence in the whole record, but specifically Midnight Sun,” she shared, explaining how the track immediately stood out once it was written. 

The project, from the music to the visuals and overall world-building, felt deeply personal to her, which makes this first nomination even more special.

Larsson also revealed that she’s already imagined where the award would live if she takes one home. 

“Even if you just have one, you are a Grammy-winning artist forever. And I have a perfect spot for it on my bookshelf,” she said with a smile. 

When asked if she truly has a plan, she confirmed, “Yes. I do have a plan. I know exactly where it would go.”

As Midnight Sun continues to gain momentum and industry recognition, Larsson’s Grammy nod marks a major turning point. 

It’s a moment that not only celebrates one successful song, but also affirms her creative vision and place among today’s leading pop artists.
