Hopefully this image also passes muster, Ms. Larsson.

Painfully unflattering Wikipedia images are the bane of many a celebrity’s existence. Glenne Headly’s is a real doozy, for example. On February 19, Zara Larsson took matters into her own hands, declaring a lifelong vendetta against the editors of her Wikipedia page. “Whoever the fuck is changing this fucking Wikipedia picture to this picture, stop!” she said on TikTok. “I will never stop changing that picture to a nice one. I will never stop. You can stop, because I will never stop.” She and a friend then searched through photos of herself until finding a suitably cunty one to submit to Wikipedia. “This is the one that I want,” she said, pointing to a picture that is now her image on Wiki.
Larsson’s hacktivism was noticed by the editors of Wikipedia. In the revision history for Larsson’s page, there is substantial activity on the night of February 19. “TF happening rn?” one entry reads. In response, someone changes Larsson’s photo to the one she requested with this note: “Recent flood of vandalism was caused by the article subject posting on TikTok requesting this image be used instead of the previous one. Feel free to revert if controversial.” It looks like the “good” picture is sticking around. Now if only we could edit Larsson’s performance of “Midnight Sun” into the 2026 Grammys main show instead of the web-exclusive preshow.
