He just kind of started kissing me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;And I just kissed him back, because I was messy like that &#8211; and I was 16 and really drunk.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Unbeknownst to Larsson, this wasn&#8217;t a secret she was going to be able to keep, as someone had sneakily recorded them playing tonsil tennis. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">She explained: &#8220;The f***ed up thing about this though, was that the girl whose [house] we had had the party at, she filmed this, and I didn&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;So before I got the chance to tell my friend what happened the next day, she had already got the video sent to her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;But the truth is I wasn&#8217;t really in love with him or interested in him &#8211; it was this <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/weird\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">weird<\/a> mistake that happened. But obviously, seeing it&#8230;&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The &#8216;On My Love&#8217; singer revealed that her pal &#8216;just cut her off&#8217;, as did the rest of her friend group, as she added: &#8220;And I was just like a floating piece of trash in the universe.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">She clarified that although these events &#8216;inspired&#8217; her song &#8216;Girl&#8217;s Girl&#8217;, the lyrics &#8216;definitely wasn&#8217;t the truth&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Larsson said her pal &#8216;didn&#8217;t speak to her for four years&#8217; after she locked lips with her man, but explained that they late reconnected. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;Now it\u2019s okay and everyone\u2019s like on good terms,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It was one of my worst mistakes in life. Like, it truly was. At 16, I just&#8230;if I could take it back, I would so, so, so bad. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;But I also have to like forgive myself for it because again, this is more than 10 years ago now, and I was just really stupid and messy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">&#8220;And also I found out that I can\u2019t drink. I just can\u2019t. My morals and my just sense of self, like it just goes out the window.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Swedish singer Zara Larsson has been reflecting on being a tearaway teen &#8211; and how a &#8216;weird mistake&#8217;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":548491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[830,2755,96,128,576,56,54,55,2259],"class_list":{"0":"post-548490","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-celebrity","9":"tag-celebrity-news","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-sex-and-relationships","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom","16":"tag-viral"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/548491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
