Zara Larsson has responded to people who have criticised her for making a joke about abortion.
The singer divided opinions when she responded to a video posted by a fan on TikTok. In the post, someone shared a clip of the Swedish singer and songwriter performing live, and wrote that they “didn’t know that I was pregnant here”, adding: “At least my baby got to hear ‘Midnight Sun’ before I aborted it”.
Responding to the post, Larsson wrote in the comment section: “I killed the performance and then you killed it after the performance purrrrrr.”
Unsurprisingly, the comment led to mixed reactions online, with some defending the singer for making the joke, and some suggesting that it was in bad taste.
Now, Larsson has responded to the backlash, doubling down on her stance. Taking to TikTok, the singer shared a video in which she shared that she “doesn’t know what to say” to people who took issue with the comment.
“Sorry, that’s funny… Sorry if you don’t have humour,” she said. “But also I’m not really here to argue with the people who are very against abortions for whatever reason because we’re so fundamentally different in the way we view the world, at least on this topic.”
