Zara Larsson openly shared her private aeroplane thoughts in a blunt public confession, telling followers she feels more horny while flying and wondering why. She shared those thoughts on her Instagram Stories and described them as feminist. The posts quickly sparked online discussion and mixed reactions.
Larsson started by asking why flying makes her feel more turned on. 'Ok, but what's the science behind being hella horny on an airplane? I can't be the only one,' she said. 'I'm about to bark.' She then linked the confession to the idea that women are often expected to keep their sexual thoughts private.

'I don't know why I needed to make that a public announcement, but it felt necessary. It felt like a feminist thing to do,' she said. 'Like, "Girls think about sex. Let's destigmatise!".'
Larsson suggested that the quiet and boredom on a flight might give more room for daydreaming. 'Maybe it's the peace and quiet that gives space for fantasising about... things...,' she said. 'Because idk about you guys, but when I'm bored my mind goes straight there.'
Her explanation prompted some users to question the feminist framing. One X user wrote, 'What's feminist about this...'

Another user responded, 'It's feminist because it challenges the stigma around women talking openly about sex.'

Larsson's Instagram History
The singer has previously used Instagram to address more serious and personal matters. In 2021, Larsson cut ties with creative director Ryder Ripps after Azealia Banks posted screenshots of Ripps mocking her arms and body.
Larsson reposted the screenshots and questioned why her creative director was joking about her appearance. She then called it 'tiring' to see women's bodies treated as a public joke. She explained that her arms are naturally larger due to her body type and that the constant attention was affecting her.
'This is bigger than just a private convo,' she said. 'Like, can we all just stop commenting on other people's bodies? Where's the fun in that?'
'I see these comments literally every day, and I never know what to say, or if I should say anything at all... Just know, I'm way healthier now than I've been for a long time. I actually have 3 meals a day, I'm not constantly cold, I have energy, and I actually love the way my ass is getting fat.'
Larsson ultimately appeared to end her working relationship with Ripps through Instagram, asking her followers, 'Who knows any good creative directors lol? '

Her Recent Stage Style
Larsson recently brought her colourful stage style to Rock in Rio in Rio de Janeiro on 13 September, performing in a Brazil-inspired look. She wore layered green-and-yellow tops, denim microshorts, and a belt with dangling details.
Her look included pink leopard-print eye makeup, rhinestones, and glittering accents around her face. Her performance included Brazilian dance references. While singing 'Blue Moon', Larsson performed the quadradinho – a dance move – on the Palco Sunset.
The look matches the colourful style Larsson has shown during her Midnight Sun tour.
In a 14 August interview with Vogue, she described her style as 'sparkly, glittery, and fun' and said her stage outfits must be comfortable for dancing.
Larsson will continue her Midnight Sun Tour with shows in Seoul on 4 and 5 October, Tokyo on 7 and 8 October, and Manila on 30 October.
