Zara Larsson has one clear message for whoever keeps editing her Wikipedia page: please stop touching the image.
The Swedish pop star took to TikTok on Wednesday, February 18, to publicly plead with online editors to leave her favorite photo alone after noticing that her Wikipedia photo had once again been swapped for one she doesn’t like.
In the video, Larsson didn’t hold back and jokingly but firmly addressed the mystery editor behind the change.
“Whoever the f— is changing this f—ing Wikipedia picture to this picture… Stop! Stop doing it, stop doing it,” she said.
“I’m so real, keep it away.”
In the clip, Larsson is seen scrolling through the Wikimedia Commons photo library in search of an image she approves, wondering aloud why she can’t just block certain images from being used.
After some searching, she lands on a backstage photo taken during her Midnight Sun tour in 2025, making it clear that this is the version she wants to represent her online.
“That’s the one I want and that’s the one we’re going to change to and keep changing to forever,” she said.
Wikipedia pages are publicly editable, although changes typically require approval from site administrators.
Images of famous figures are frequently updated, often without the subject’s involvement, which Larsson acknowledged when she revealed that she regularly edits her own page to recreate her chosen image.
“I will never stop. I will never stop changing that picture to a nice one, I will never stop,” she added.
The photo she is trying to replace was taken at the Isle of Wight festival in England in 2024, which the singer described as particularly unflattering.
Still, Larsson has previously spoken openly about embracing imperfect moments.
In a previous interview, she explained that she often takes pictures of herself when she feels less confident.
“I also take a lot of pictures of myself in the ugly moments because I just love to compare,” she said.
“I know I’ll feel really ugly now, but give me an hour with a makeup brush or 12 hours of good night’s sleep, I know I’ll feel beautiful again. Maybe not right now, but in the future. I don’t know when, but it’s going to happen. Let’s document it.”
For now, however, when it comes to Wikipedia, Larsson draws a line. Her request is simple: stick to the nice picture and cut it out, as she put it.
