Get in, girls. We’re going on a trip with Zara Larsson — who just announced that Shakira, PinkPantheress, Robyn and more leading ladies of pop will be featured on the upcoming deluxe edition of her breakout album Midnight Sun.

On Wednesday (April 22), just a few days after revealing that she’d be dropping Midnight Sun: Girls Trip this May, the Swedish pop star shared a video unveiling the names who will be joining her on the expanded project. In addition to her “Stateside” collaborator and the other previously mentioned names, “She Did It Again” duet partner Tyla, Kehlani, JT, Madison Beer, BAMBII, Margo XS, Emilia, Malibu, Eli and Helena Gao will also appear on the lengthened track list.

The clip shows Larsson walking into a gas station and picking out an assortment of kitschy keychains, each reading a name from her list of Girls Trip collaborators. “I’m so so so so so honored and excited for this,” she captioned the video. “And you know what’s crazy? This is just the beginning of girls trip!!! Like HELLO This summer is gonna be madness.”

Midnight Sun: Girls Trip will arrive May 1, building on the success Larsson has found in recent months with her fifth studio album and the success of its title track. She recently earned her first-ever top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 by guesting on PinkPantheress’ “Stateside,” which peaked at No. 6 in March.

On April 29, Larsson will accept this year’s Breakthrough Award at Billboard Women in Music. In a recent interview with Billboard about the honor, the singer said, “For the first time in a long time, I’m on the Billboard charts. I’m reaching so many new heights 10 years into my career, which is exciting and a testament to never giving up.”

Ariana Grande Lets Her Angriest, Most Authentic Self Bloom on New Album ‘Petal’: Stream It Now

The pop star doesn't hold anything back on her newly released eighth studio album.

Ariana Grande‘s eighth studio album has blossomed, with the pop star finally unveiling Petal — on which she allows herself to be angrier and more authentic than ever before — on Friday (July 31).

Hitting streaming services at midnight ET, the set features a total of 12 tracks, all but one of which fans hadn’t heard before. The only song Grande released as a single ahead of time was “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” which dropped in June and debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, marking the star’s 10th career No. 1 on the chart. She’d also posted snippets of the a cappella vocals from “Oh Well” and “Freak” on Instagram, as well as debuted the album’s phenomenal title track at an Eternal Sunshine show in Montreal.
