What a helluva year already for Swedish popstar Zara Larsson huh? She's been pumping out #1 hits & dominating an international concert tour on an ELITE level lately. Been impossible to scroll through social media and not have one of her signature dance clips pop up. Not that I'm complaining. Turns out learning about new musicians can be a pretty swell time!

Now is as tradition with rising stars, Zara has started hitting the podcast circuit too. And when it comes to hard hitting interviews, she does NOT disappoint with her answers. Look no further than this recent "goon face" clip if you don't believe me. Quite the admission to make.

“The people I work with, we have this thing…I want everyone around me to be able to do a goon face. To me, it’s like, ‘are you free, are you care free, are you yourself, can you be silly?’ If I ask someone on the spot to make a goon face, and they’re like ‘I can’t do this’ I’m like, you gotta go, you’re fired.”

What fun silly banter! Sounds like working for her is an absolute blast. YOU GO GIRL!!

Granted if Barstool SPORTS said that line about our employees, there'd be a Samar Kalef hitpiece & many furious blue checkmarks popping up within hours. But I digress. Also if you're feeling a bit lost trying to dissect this TikTok lingo, here are other examples of "goon face" for context. It's exactly what you think it is.

If this office still had a fastball, no doubt we'd already have gone around to create a montage of our employees best "goon face" or face a legitimate threat of being fired. That is #CONTENT. If only it was still the 2010s… but again, I digress.

Regardless, inspiring to see famous celebrities still be able to cut it loose and crack up just like the common man would. Although being edgy & sexy isn't anything new for Zara either, that is very much her bag, baby. No word on whether she endorses Swedish made penis enlarger pumps. YET.

Most importantly though, now you know what a "goon face" is and how extremely valued they can be in the business world. Not the worst way to get promoted I guess? Always important to learn new things out there. Speaking of which, congrats to Zara on all her success AND just discovering that Jimmy Buffet was an actual person. The more you know!
