Zara Larsson has begged Wikipedia editors to use a “nice’ photo on her page.
The Swedish pop star took matters into her own hands and edited the page herself after pleading with rogue contributors to “cut it out”.
“Whoever the f**k is changing this f**king Wikipedia picture to this picture – Stop! Stop doing it, stop doing it!” Zara, 28, begged in a video posted to her TikTok account on Thursday.
“I’m being so real, cut it out.”
The offending photo, featuring the You Love Who You Love vocalist in a blue outfit, on stage at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2024, had been chosen by an anonymous editor of the site. Wikipedia is an open-edited encyclopaedia maintained by a team of volunteers, with the general public also able to contribute to and make changes to the content.
In her video, Zara could then be seen scrolling through the site’s photo library, as she searched for an acceptable substitute.
“Where’s my nice picture? Can I disapprove these pictures?” the Midnight Sun singer complained.
After choosing a photo she was happier with and installing it as the headline image on the page, Zara jokingly declared she would “never stop” fighting the battle against photos she deemed unflattering.
“I will never stop. I will never stop changing that picture to a nice one, I will never stop,” she quipped.
“This is the one that I want, and this is the one we’re gonna change to, and keep changing to forever.”
