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.

Sabrina Carpenter is helping usher in the return of The Muppet Show, and she’s doing it with plenty of charm alongside one of television’s most beloved divas, Miss Piggy. 

The pop star appears in the very first teaser for the upcoming special, which made its debut during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest, instantly setting the tone for a playful and star-filled revival.

In the teaser, Carpenter is fully game for the Muppets’ trademark chaos, sharing the screen, and even matching outfits, with Miss Piggy. 

One standout moment shows the Espresso singer praising Miss Piggy as an icon, a compliment the Muppet legend accepts with flair. 

“You’re too sweet. Go on,” Miss Piggy replies, perfectly in character. The exchange highlights the easy chemistry between the two and gives fans a taste of the humor the special promises to deliver.

Carpenter’s appearance also feels like a fun continuation of her recent onstage interaction with Miss Piggy during the final stop of her Short n’ Sweet Tour in Los Angeles. 

At that show, Carpenter jokingly “arrested” Miss Piggy before performing Juno. 

Addressing the crowd, she said, “You guys are so beautiful it should be a crime,” before spotting Miss Piggy and Bobo the Bear and adding, “Like you, gorgeous. I’d know that face anywhere!” 

When asked if she was enjoying the concert, Miss Piggy quipped, “I’m loving it! I mean, I do have a few notes. I’ll share them with you after the show.” 

Bobo the Bear then stepped in with mock authority, telling her, “Let’s go, Pig… Tell it to the judge, sister.”

The teaser also features Seth Rogen, who appears genuinely thrilled to be part of the Muppet universe. 

In a brief exchange with Fozzie Bear, Rogen admits, “It’s always been a dream of mine to be here,” prompting Fozzie’s classic punchline response.

With familiar faces, lighthearted humour, and celebrity guests clearly enjoying the moment, The Muppet Show aims to blend nostalgia with fresh energy. 

The special is set to premiere on ABC and Disney+ on Wednesday, Feb. 4, giving fans old and new another reason to celebrate the timeless appeal of the Muppets.

Holly Ramsay may not be royal, but on her wedding day she certainly dressed the part.

The daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has revealed that Princess Kate was a major style influence behind her elegant bridal look as she married Olympic swimming champion Adam Peaty in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey over the weekend. 

Alongside Hollywood royalty Grace Kelly, the Princess of Wales helped shape a gown that Holly says made her feel “very princess-like”.

Speaking to British Vogue, Holly explained that the sheer scale of the historic abbey played a decisive role in her choice. 

With its soaring ceilings and a 65-metre aisle, subtlety was never going to cut it. Instead, she opted for drama, tradition and timeless elegance.

“I knew I wanted something long, modest and lace-heavy,” she said, adding that she has always admired Kate’s wedding dress for its high neckline and feminine silhouette.

The bride wore a lace Elie Saab gown, which she described as an “instant obsession,” paired with a delicate lace veil. 

Accessories included a shell-shaped Chanel minaudière and Amina Muaddi heels.

In the days following the wedding, Adam’s mother Caroline Peaty shared a series of emotional posts on social media, hinting at the toll the fallout has taken. 

In one message, she wrote of losing “a piece of myself that I will never get back,” while another expressed hope for “a year that doesn’t hurt.”

According to reports, tensions reportedly stemmed from a disagreement over Caroline’s wedding outfit, which allegedly spiralled into a wider family dispute. 

Speaking to the Daily Mail before the ceremony, Caroline said she felt “cut out” of her son’s big day and described the situation as deeply painful, particularly over the Christmas period.

Despite considering travelling to Bath Abbey to watch the wedding from outside, she ultimately decided against it, saying it would have been “too sad” and she did not want to detract from her son’s moment.
