Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance is mocked by smirking Zara Larsson as she makes cannabis jokes about the singer – after he was ‘paid $10m to skip through songs on a laptop’

Zara Larsson has mocked Justin Bieber’s divisive Coachella performance. 

The 28-year-old Swedish singer and songwriter posted a TikTok video on Sunday of herself watching the performance with friends. Many people have criticized the performance, saying it lacked effort and quality, and she and her friends appeared to be amused by it.

She playfully suggested they relax and enjoy some downtime, saying it felt like a perfect moment to smoke and watch YouTube. Her caption described someone she frequently thinks about, saying he’s always on her mind.

Passing a blunt – a cigar filled with marijuana – in a circle among friends is commonly known as a “blunt rotation.” It’s a social activity where everyone shares the same blunt.

Zara’s video is released as people are still talking about Justin’s simple performance, where he wore a hoodie and appeared to be browsing YouTube while on stage. Many fans were disappointed, and the discussion has focused on his unusual stage setup.

The clip received positive reactions from viewers, who largely shared the frustration about the different standards held for male and female performers.

People commented that it’s frustrating to see women working incredibly hard with a strenuous two-hour workout in heels, while men are paid millions just to make a simple request like asking for the Wi-Fi password on stage.

It’s unbelievable… Zara really isn’t afraid to call out these unimpressive guys. She always speaks her mind and is genuinely authentic.

Zara is no stranger to controversy, with her current beef being with Taylor Swift.

The singer recently faced criticism from Taylor Swift’s devoted fans, known as Swifties, for the second time after making comments perceived as negative towards them.

Zara explained that Taylor Swift’s success is remarkable, but she personally isn’t interested in focusing on chart positions, believing most people don’t pay attention to them – except for Taylor Swift’s dedicated fanbase, who were upset by the comment.

She told The Guardian that she’s no longer interested in chasing chart success. She believes only people within the music industry and fans of Taylor Swift pay attention to the charts these days.

Oh my god, when I saw that comment, the internet lost it! Everyone started making up these posts from Taylor, like she’d posted something simple and heartbroken saying, ‘honestly just… disappointed.’ It was so perfect, capturing exactly how we all felt! But honestly, Taylor hadn’t actually said anything publicly about it, which just made the fake post even more brilliant and relatable. We were all speaking for her, you know?

Despite that, Taylor Swift’s fans quickly reacted on social media, with many writing things like: ‘Zara Larsson may have just ruined her career. That was a bad move, and completely unnecessary – especially considering how good Taylor’s new song is.’

She’s trying to stay relevant by criticizing Taylor Swift. It’s hard to believe anyone even pays attention to @zaralarsson.

I really don’t understand why she felt the need to bring that person’s name into it. What was she hoping to achieve? It seems like she was just seeking attention.

It seems pretty clear Zara is jealous of Taylor, but she can’t bring herself to admit it. It’s ironic, considering she often talks about awareness, but lacks the self-awareness to recognize what’s probably happening.

Someone asked what Taylor Swift did to upset Zara Larsson, and Zara responded with a somewhat sarcastic comment. She pointed out that, considering her own career hasn’t always been successful and she’s often focused on getting views and streams, it’s ironic that she’s making a statement about anyone else.

After facing criticism from Taylor Swift’s fans, Zara explained her previous statements on her Instagram Story.

She explained that she told The Guardian no one really cares about chart positions except those in the music industry and, jokingly, Taylor Swift’s fans, because Taylor Swift is so dominant when it comes to charts.

She’s truly exceptional at what she does, and it’s widely recognized. People are misunderstanding the situation. And I really do care! I’m planning to release at least two different cover designs for the physical version of my next project, after ‘Midnight Sun’.

I recently realized I’m having a moment where my music feels culturally relevant, which is new for me. It’s frustrating though, because that doesn’t automatically mean my songs will be chart-toppers! Honestly, I believe an artist can be incredibly talented and successful without needing to top the charts, and I don’t think fans should equate the two things.

I really want ‘Midnight Sun’ to be ranked number one! Please, please make it happen! That would be amazing!
