  "account": "Zara Larsson, the Swedish pop star, spoke candidly about her interest in a future political career during an appearance on Las Culturistas. At 28 years old, she revealed that she could envision herself running for office in Sweden when she reaches 50. Larsson jokingly dubbed herself the \"Singing Mamdani,\" likening herself to someone who prioritizes the well-being of others and does good for the people. While she remains open to the possibility, she is currently focusing on her music, with her 2025 album Midnight Sun achieving a notable peak of No. 36 on the Billboard 200. Larsson also expressed her dedication to giving her song \"Blue Moon\" the recognition it deserves, even though it has not yet gained significant traction. When asked to contribute a campaign slogan, Larsson suggested \"Puss Puss '48,\" mirroring the title of one of her songs.",
