Mick Jagger was always a ZLut. Is that a sentence you expected to read today? Well, it's the truth. Earlier this week, the Rolling Stones legend appeared on the Today show and raved about Zara Larsson, whose fans are referred to as ZLuts, obviously.
On the show, the frontman explained, "My son said to me, 'Oh, Zara Larsson is having a big comeback.' I said, 'But she never went away for me.'" He added that he's been a fan since her 2018 hit "Ruin My Life." "It's just what I like," he said. "When I'm in that mood, that's what I like."
Larsson performed on the Today show yesterday, and the hosts showed her the clip of Jagger discussing her. "That was amazing," she said. "It's so beautiful to see how everyone's coming on this journey." Watch below.
