Zara Larsson didn’t let a potentially disastrous wardrobe malfunction keep her from delivering yet another high-energy performance.
Larsson, 28, kicked off Today’s summer concert series on Friday, May 8, where she regaled attendees with renditions of her biggest hits. In between routines, the musician realized that one of the heels from her bedazzled pumps had broken completely off.
“We’ve got to dance extra hard because I lost my heel,” the pop star quipped during her set, before seamlessly kicking off the introduction to “Lush Life.”
After the concert ended, Larsson stressed that she was proud of her performance.
“I was soooo nervous this morning because my voice was literally gone,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories later that day. “But we pushed thru!!! I had so much fun! Thank you to everyone for pulling up on me so early.”
She continued, “We also did ‘Lush Life’ with one heel! Loool!”
Larsson released her latest album, Midnight Sun, in 2025, showcasing a new musical era.
“I think people are just really seeing this new confidence,” she told Vogue in September 2025. “I started off signed to a label so young. You’ve got choreographers, stylists, producer, and writers thrown at you — all amazing people — but that makes it hard to figure out who you are. For the first time in my life, all parts of me and my art feels cohesive. I’m connecting with people in a new way.”
She added, “I planted the seed and the fans are watering it. I love all my really big songs — I knew when they were gonna be a smash — but I maybe didn’t have the world around it that I wanted. Turns out, you don’t have to do too much. You just have to start from within. I don’t want to just be a performer, I want to be an artist.”
