(October 16, 2026) As the Midnight Sun sets, the “Blue Moon” rises as GRAMMY®-nominated pop superstar Zara Larsson unveils the highly anticipated music video for “Blue Moon,” an exciting new extension of the Midnight Sununiverse and a tribute to the album that has defined a career-changing year for the global pop sensation.
Directed by Charlotte Rutherford, the official video follows Zara as she finds herself alone in a desolate parking lot at dusk. As night falls, she breaks into a show-stopping performance and the ordinary landscape transforms into a vibrant, surreal world filled with fantastical creatures, vivid colors, and dynamic choreography. Blurring the line between reality and fantasy, the video captures the dreamy, escapist spirit of “Blue Moon” while showcasing Zara’s signature performance style.

Zara first gave fans a glimpse of the “Blue Moon” music video during the second of her two sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ iconic Greek Theatre last month, leaving fans clamoring for more. Last week, she offered another tease during an appearance on Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, where she described “Blue Moon” as the “sister” to “Midnight Sun” — further underscoring the connection between the two.
The striking visual arrives nearly one year after the release of Midnight Sun. Since the album’s release, Zara Larsson has been on an unstoppable global run. From earning aGRAMMY® nomination for the album’s explosive title track and scoring her first-ever Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 with PinkPantheress on “Stateside,” to taking home two American Music Awards forBreakthrough Album of the Year and Collaboration of the Year and earning five MTV Video Music Award nominations for “Stateside.” Larsson also expanded the Midnight Sun universe with Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, an all-star remix album featuring Kehlani on the “Blue Moon” remix alongside Shakira, Robyn, Tyla, PinkPantheress and more, further cementing her place as a force in today’s global pop scene.
In 2026, Larsson continued her global takeover on the live stage, embarking on her sold-out U.S. headlining tour this spring before bringing theMidnight Sun era to stages across the globe this summer. Her festival run included standout performances at BBC Radio 1 Weekend and Lollapalooza, where she drew one of the largest crowds of the weekend and the largest U.S. crowd of her career. She is currently on the road with her Midnight Sun tour in Australia, with stops in Melbourne, Sydney and more before bringing the tour to the Philippines and Thailand.
With “Blue Moon,” Zara continues to build on the world of Midnight Sun, celebrating an album that has propelled her career to new heights while offering fans a fresh perspective on the era. A natural evolution of the album’s universe, “Blue Moon” brings the Midnight Sun journey full circle.

About Zara Larsson
“Summer isn’t over yet” is more than a lyric from Zara Larsson’s perennial hit “Midnight Sun” — it’s a statement of purpose. A decade after dropping her first international single, 2015’s “Lush Life,” the GRAMMY-nominated Swedish sensation is taking her rightful place in the zeitgeist as a Main Pop Girl. In 2026, while her sold-out tour raged onward, she lodged three songs in the Hot 100: the recently viral “Lush Life” (#35, video nearing 1B views), “Midnight Sun” (#39), and PinkPantheress collab “Stateside” (#6, and #1 on the Global 200). All of that followed hot on the heels of Midnight Sun, Zara’s fourth, truest, and most vibrant album to date, made with a tight trusted team (MNEK, Margo XS, Helena Gao, Zhone) and unafraid to show all sides of the star: lovestruck, wistful, ambitious, flippant, fun, uncertain — often in the same breath. If that radiant LP was inspired by the feeling of an endless summer night in Stockholm, then the globe-trotting remix album, Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, is what happens when that night rolls into an infinite season of pure pop energy where everyone is invited. For the reinvented set, Zara opens up her acclaimed album and shouts, “GET IN, GIRL!” to a worldwide all-woman lineup including icons like Shakira, Robyn, Tyla, Kehlani, PinkPantheress, JT, and more. The collection crosses borders, genres, and vibes for a series of unforgettable musical moments of authentic self-expression, diverse artistry, and total hands-up, top-down, open-air freedom.
