Zara Larsson urges fans to stop changing her Wikipedia photo amid online editing battle

Zara Larsson asks fans to stop swapping her Wikipedia photo as online edits spark viral TikTok reaction

Swedish pop star Zara Larsson has publicly urged fans to stop changing her photo on Wikipedia, after a series of edits sparked what she described as an ongoing online battle.

The singer took to TikTok to express frustration over repeated changes to the image displayed on her Wikipedia page. In a candid video, Larsson asked whoever was altering the picture to stop, explaining that she preferred a different promotional image. The clip shows the artist scrolling through Google Images with a friend to select a photo she believes better represents her.

I will NEVER stop so you better stop because I will NEVER EVER STOP

Following the viral TikTok post, some fans appeared to escalate the situation by continuing to edit the page with alternative or older images. Social media users on X reacted with humor, with several suggesting that the internet had treated her request as a challenge rather than a plea.

The Wikipedia photo debate comes during a period of renewed commercial success for Larsson. Known globally for hits including Lush Life and Ain't My Fault, the singer has experienced a resurgence in popularity over the past year. Her fifth studio album, Midnight Sun, released in September, topped the charts in Sweden and reached the UK Top 40.

Earlier this year, “Lush Life” re-entered the charts following a viral tour performance, further cementing Larsson’s continued relevance in the global pop music landscape.
