Swedish icon Zara Larsson has now officially ignited TikTok on fire. On October 5, 2025, 27-year-old pop queen Zara shared a brief clip of her dancing next to her boyfriend, dancer and choreographer Lamin Holmen, for her new single titled “Midnight Sun.” The song directly comes from her newest studio collection of the same name, released on September 26 on Epic Records.
“Midnight Sun” is already destined to be one of Larsson’s signature periods: the album topped the Swedish charts at No. 1, full of uplifting, sun-kissed beats, joy, freedom, and unbridled self-expression.
The chemistry between the couple is the center of the TikTok, with Larsson unleashing her signature megawatt smile while Holmen stays in step, step for step, creating a video that provokes less dance challenge, more love letter.

Fans Lose Their Minds for the Couple’s Energy
The web, understandably, lost its collective mind. Fans were addicted to the effortless harmony and chemistry between the two of them. One fan gushes, “She’s just so happy all the time… good boyfriend absolutely smoking body insane vocals… I’d be too damn! I love her.”
Others complemented how effortless their relationship appeared on TV. The dance wasn’t about perfection, it was about energy. Holmen and Larsson appeared like two individuals lost in their own little world, basking in music and love.
Racial Mixing Under the Klieg Lights
Though the TikTok video itself was understandably funny, the couple also raised questions of representation. Larsson, whose personal background has been public when it comes to her relationships, has also always been perceived as being romantic with Black and mix-race men, and some on Twitter responded with commentary on how surprised they get when they see her with a Black man.
One fan replied on Twitter, “People being surprised that he’s black… when I’ve known her since 2013 so I’d have been surprised if he was white.” Another said pell-mell, “People being surprised he’s Black when she only goes out w/Black / mixed dudes ????.
Others complimented Holmen directly: “A fine looking couple! Nice to see Black men go places where they’re loved and appreciated.”
The responses reflect how Larsson’s private life manages to ignite further online discourses on interracial marriages and the image of Black males within international pop culture forums.
The “Midnight Sun” Season Has Just Commenced
The TikTok video has gone viral both as promotion for Larsson’s soon-to-be-released record and a peek inside her personal world, which her fans have been asking for. Given that “Midnight Sun” has already topped charts and TikTok trends, this cycle of her albums appears destined to catapult Zara Larsson deeper into worldwide superstardom.
She dances for joy, basks for love, and reminds all of us that few pop stars understand the power of music and the web better than she does.
