- That's just all you do in LA, really. You're just in your car, and then you go to Erewhon. (crew members laughing) That's about it. Hi, I'm Zara Larsson, (upbeat music) and I'm taking "Cheap Shots" with Cosmo. All of them are still here. (lips smacking) No. Is that not good enough answer? (producer laughs) - [Producer] Are you picky about what you drink? - I'm actually not very picky about what I drink. I just needed to go down fast. I would rather have a shot than have a drink. And if I am not having a shot, I would maybe enjoy like a glass of wine, but I drink to get drunk. In round 1, I'll be taking shots at myself. The drinks are Lush Life, lemon drops, four are regular, and one is spiked with some questionable vodka. Question number 1: You went viral for defending people talking in the movie theater. What's your most controversial music take? I didn't even think my movie take was controversial, so I guess it's just up to the people receiving it to decide if it is or not. If you only listen to one music genre, then I don't think you're very smart. Question number 2: What's your most toxic Sagittarius trait? I guess I just don't like to stay in one place for very long. I need to move around. I need to feel free. I don't wanna be tied down. I just can't see myself in one place for more than three months. Ugh. - [Producer] What's your least favorite sign? - I don't know. I don't care. I just know the best sign is Sagittarius. You're known for being chronically online, (beep). What's one thing you've posted in the past that you regret? I post a lot, and everything that I post on my stories, like in feed. Most of them are just from whatever I feel like now. I do wish I could go back sometimes and articulate myself clearer, but I don't, in hindsight, actually regret anything, I think. - [Producer] You could also take a shot. - Hell no. (producer laughs) You know what I do regret? I regret deleting some things. I remember one thing I said was like, "13 Reasons Why is a really bad TV show," and everyone came at me so hard because Selena Gomez produced it. I was like, "I didn't say anything about her," and I just got the craziest amount of people coming at me. I didn't just delete one tweet, I deleted all of my tweets, 'cause I was just like, "You know what? You guys win." And now I'm like, no, just stand on it, you know. Say with your chest. I don't think that series is very good, but I do love Selena Gomez. Question number four, If you had to delete one song from your discography, which one would it be and why? If I wanna make it easy, I'll just go back to my first or my second EP, "Cash Me Out," which is very experimental, I'll say that. Question number five. All of them are still here. Let's see. You're famously unfiltered. What's one celebrity encounter you wish you had been slightly more filtered? Listen, I don't really get embarrassed. I just think it's an unnecessary feeling. I have a lot of mercy for myself, and by being kind to myself, I also then never really think other people are embarrassing or cringey, and that just goes in a loop. Is that not a good enough answer? (producer laughs) (Zara laughs) (lips smacking) Oh. (lips smacking) That wasn't very nice. - [Producer] That was the cheap shot. (Zara laughs) - It was? - Yeah. (Zara laughs) - Yeah, that wasn't very good. It was like hand sanitizer. (Zara and producer laughing) Okay. Boom. Round 2: Timed Shots. These drinks are tequila and midnight sunrises, four made with top-shelf tequila, and one with a cheap, nasty stuff. All right, let's go. Question 1: What song did you open with on your first US headlining tour? (timer ticking) (Zara exhales deeply) Which was my first headlining tour? - [Producer] The "Don't Worry Bout Me" Tour. - "Don't Worry Bout Me"? I guess it was (timer ticking) "Never Forget You"? (tone buzzing) "Ain't My Fault"? (tone buzzing) I don't know. (Zara laughs) It must have been (timer ticking) "Lush Life?" (tone buzzing) No, I don't know. (timer ticking) So... (tone buzzing) - [Producer] "Symphony." - Oh, that's nice. (Zara and producer laughing) Okay. I like this glass. (laid-back upbeat music) Ooh. (laughs) (lips smacking) Ooh. (lips smacking) (crew members laughing) - [Producer] That was not the cheap one. - Yeah, it was all right. (lips smacking) I wouldn't do tequila with orange juice. Ooh. Question number 2: How many times do you say midnight in your hit "Midnight Sun"? I think I say, never-ending midnight sun... (timer ticking) I would guess six. (tone buzzing) (beep), really? Eight. (tone dings) Okay, period. That was easy. I could have just kept, one, two, three, four, five. (Zara chuckles) Bye! Question number 3, oh, wow, what was the first song you ever danced to on TikTok? I feel like it has to be... Hmm. I remember around that era it was like "Ruin My Life" times, so I don't know if I danced to it, but I might have made a TikTok to it. - [Producer] It wasn't your song. - Oh, it wasn't my song? Was it (beep) "Renegade"? (tone buzzing) Oh. I have no idea. Can you give me a clue? - [Producer] Cardi B. (timer ticking) - Oh. (tone buzzing) What was it? - [Producer] It was "WAP." ♪ Tuition just to kiss me on this wet-ass pussy ♪ - Wow! Okay. I like this glass. Ooh, ooh. (lips smacking) Ugh. I don't like that. (lighthearted music) (lips smacking) No. Is this good tequila? - [Producer] No, that's the cheap one. - Ah, yeah. You can taste the difference, actually. (Zara laughs) (lighthearted music) Ah. (Zara chuckles) Ugh! Question number 4: You opened for Ed Sheeran on his 2019 European "Divide Tour." Name five Ed Sheeran songs. Damn. Okay. "Shape of You." "A Team." (timer ticking) (Zara exhales deeply) "I Don't Need You." Is that what it's called? "You Need Me, I Don't Need You." Oh, my God. Wait! Help! (Zara giggles) What the fuck? "Photograph." One more. Wait. (timer ticking) (tone buzzing) (Zara giggles) Wait, okay, even though time's up, I have to come up with like "Perfect." Name the Beyonce songs. Come on now. That's crazy. Okay. Cheers to Ed Sheeran, fantastic songwriter and artist. Okay. Question number 5: Your Grammy nomination is for "Best Dance Pop Recording." There are only two other artists who have won this award. Who are they? It's a very new category. So, I know Charli won it. (timer ticking) Is it a feature that she won with? No, she won it and then someone the year before. - [Producer] Yep. - [Producer] "Can't Get You Out of My Head." - Who's that? - [Producer] The song. - No. Who's that? Get out of my head? (timer ticking) (tone buzzing) - [Producer] Kylie Minogue. - Oh. Congrats to her. I didn't know that. I like this glass. (lively music) Love that. And that was that. That went really bad. Round 2, complete Round 3. The category is Cheap Shots. I'll be taking literal cheap shots at everyone. The drinks are hot and sexy whiskey sours, four are made with some expensive bourbon, and one is made with not-so-nice bourbon. Question 1: You are from Sweden, but you spend a lot of time living in the US. Name one habit that still annoys you about Americans. Hmm. Good one. I spend most of my time in LA. People just can't drive. They just can't drive. I think it's so crazy how you spend so much time in your car, and you can't drive, like that's insane coming from me as well, who get in a car accident like once every month maybe, but I can drive very smoothly. You can roll smoothly. You don't have to stop. You don't have to come up to the car. Stop. Come up. I hate that shit. That's just all you do in LA, really. You're just in your car, and then you go to Erewhon. (crew members laughing) That's about it. So yeah, please learn how to drive. Also, by not stopping, you just save so much gas. So, that's that. Question number 2: Rank this iconic Swedish musicians from favorite to least favorite. Ooh. ABBA, Robyn, Icona Pop. (beep). Robyn, one. ABBA, second. Third, Icona Pop. But that's like top three, you know, that's like a good collection of amazing musicians. Okay. Question number 3: You consider yourself a Beyonce stan, which of her albums do you listen to the least? Probably "Dangerously in Love," like that era. I listen to the newest one the most. "B'Day" is my favorite, I think. - [Producer] Do you have a top three favorite Beyonce song? - Ugh. I don't. It just always changes, doesn't it? Like, my most played song this year was "PROTECTOR." I also really love "FLAMENCO." I love the "Renaissance" album so much. I will go for like "Resentment," which is not from "Renaissance," but it just does something to me. I don't know, it's very loud. I like that one. Whee! Question number 4: Name one artist we would never find on a playlist of yours. There's so many artists I have blocked on Spotify, and all of them are like abusers. You certainly wouldn't find like a Chris Brown song. Bye! Question number 5: You opened for many artists throughout your career, including Ed Sheeran, Cher Lloyd, ah yes, Beyonce, and Tate McRae. Name one tour you'd never wanna go on again. The Cher Lloyd one, just because it was like a theater tour, you know. She's great. She's fun. Bring Cher Lloyd back. But Ed Sheeran, that was like stadiums, you know, like yeah. Beyonce was like, ah. But Tate was the most amazing experience. Cher Lloyd was also an incredible experience for me at that time because it was the first tour that I was ever on. But now please, please, please, I don't wanna come back to opening for an artist in a theater. I am just on my way to do my own theater tour in the US, which is also very exciting 'cause it's like the biggest tour that I've done so far in the US. But hopefully, I'll come back very soon, and maybe we'll do like amphitheaters, and then hopefully like the arenas. I wanna go in that direction. So, that's why. Bye! Thank you so much for watching "Cheap Shots." Come see me on tour if you have a ticket. Ah. If not, go get it 'cause it's basically sold out. (upbeat music)

Zara Larsson probably pulled up to "Cheap Shots" ready to overshare, and we're not mad about it. With cocktails inspired by 'Midnight Sun' and 'Lush Life' in hand, the pop star takes on spicy questions about her biggest online posting regrets, the tours she never wants to relive, and who she’s blocked on Spotify. She also taps into her well-known love of Beyoncé by ranking her favorite songs — no hesitation. Truth or drink, Zara proves she’s just as honest as she is hilarious.
