Painfully unflattering Wikipedia<\/a> images are the bane of many a celebrity\u2019s existence. Glenne Headly\u2019s<\/a> 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. \u201cWhoever the fuck is changing this fucking Wikipedia picture to this picture, stop!\u201d she said on TikTok. \u201cI will never stop changing that picture to a nice one. I will never stop. You can stop, because I will never stop.\u201d She and a friend then searched through photos of herself until finding a suitably cunty one to submit to Wikipedia. \u201cThis is the one that I want,\u201d she said, pointing to a picture that is now her image on Wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Larsson\u2019s hacktivism was noticed by the editors of Wikipedia. In the revision history<\/a> for Larsson\u2019s page, there is substantial activity on the night of February 19. \u201cTF happening rn?\u201d one entry reads. In response, someone changes Larsson\u2019s photo to the one she requested with this note: \u201cRecent 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.\u201d It looks like the \u201cgood\u201d picture is sticking around. Now if only we could edit Larsson\u2019s performance of \u201cMidnight Sun\u201d<\/a> into the 2026 Grammys main show instead of the web-exclusive preshow.<\/p>\n
