I grew up being like I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll ever be able to be like the pop girls that saved my life.

They were willing to take time out of their insane pop girl schedule. I\u2019m doing a fraction of what Zara Larsson is doing right now and I texted her last week and I was like, \u201cHow the fuck are you doing this? Like I\u2019m not okay.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Zara coming out during my theatrical one-woman show that\u2019s talking about being a fan of music and wanting to have the microphone.
