The days may be getting darker as winter quickly approaches, but Zara Larsson lit up New York City with midnight sun at the 2025 iHeartRadio Z100 Jingle Ball Presented By Capital One.

The Swedish singer-songwriter hit the stage at Madison Square Garden on on Friday (December 12) for a festive set of some of her biggest hits to ring in the holidays as part of iHeartRadio's annual Jingle Ball tour.

After making a memorable entrance on the stage, being carried in by her dancers, Larsson launched into a rendition of her song "Pretty Ugly," putting a holiday twist on the track with some festive lyrics changes. She kept the jolly vibes high while twerking and dancing around the stage to a mashup of the holiday classic "Deck the Halls" with her 2017 track "Ain't My Fault."

The 27-year-old musician then moved onto "Midnight Sun" and "Crush," which both feature on her fifth studio album of the same name, which dropped in September.

Larsson recently shared how her Swedish pop heritage inspired Midnight Sun, which she also referred to as her most personal album yet, during an exclusive iHeartRadio Album Release Party, telling the crowd, "I feel like I wanna take you all into the universe of a Swedish summer night, which is where the sun never sets."

She concluded her Jingle Ball set with a couple more throwbacks. Before ending with "Symphony," her 2017 collaboration with Clean Bandit, she brought up a fan on stage to dance along with her to "Lush Life." The fan, Stephanie, expertly copied the choreography, confidently nailing the moves and singing every lyric. Even Larsson was impressed, calling the cameo "so amazing" and wondering if she was an actual dancer.

Before lighting up MSG, Larsson spoke with iHearRadio backstage in the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge where she revealed her surprising new goal of getting her helicopter pilot license, calling it her "absolute dream."

Larsson was one of several artists to take the stage with festive holiday sets at the 2025 iHeartRadio Z100 Jingle Ball, joining other stars like Ed Sheeran, Reneé Rapp, Conan Gray, Alex Warren, Jessie Murph, Laufey, MONSTA X, Myles Smith, Nelly and Ravyn Lenae.

To relive the holiday magic, iHeartRadio is partnering with ABC to bring the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour to even more fans across the country, as an exclusive network special will be aired on December 17th and next day on Hulu.
