The Cheeky Chronicles of Kerstin Ljungström in So Much Better
Well, well, well! If it isn’t our favorite musical magician, Kerstin Ljungström, who has decided to hop on the So Much Better train. And what a ride it’s been! One moment she’s rubbing shoulders with cool cats like Sey, Simon Superti, and the one and only Alba August, and the next she’s revealing how much she absolutely adores the band Noise — which, let’s face it, is a bit like saying you just discovered chocolate. Where have you been, darling?
When it comes to music, it seems like Kerstin has a flair for getting starstruck over names like Air. I mean, who wouldn’t want to join a star-studded lineup? It’s not exactly a walk in the park; it’s like being called up to the professional league after a lifetime of kicking about in the local pub!
The Heart Strings of an Artist
Let’s talk about that performance where she rocked a dress inspired by High Above the Sea—just imagine the waves of awe crashing as she sang You and Me. It’s not just a song; it’s a love letter in tune form! Kerstin mentions how couples get all mushy and cuddly when she performs it. Which is precisely why I don’t take my partner to gigs—you never know when a song will turn into a full-on snuggle fest! But I get it; nothing whips up the feels like a good tune about unconditional love. And who better to write that than a trio consisting of Fanny, Louise, and Cassandra Ströberg? Talk about girl power with a capital G!
Friendship and Musical Collaborations
When asked who she clicked with the most, she named Arja, who evidently isn’t just a singer but also a fabulous person! Note to self: make friends with musicians; it seems to be a magic ticket to good vibes. But her love doesn’t stop there—she’s vibing with Alba and Seinabo, making this season sound like a musical sitcom waiting to happen!
Living the Dream
Now, who would she love to interpret? Drumroll, please! It’s none other than the phenomenal Lisa Nilsson. If that’s not a dreamy wishlist, I don’t know what is. And speaking of dreams, our dear friend Andreas Lundstedt (the *surprise guest* from Alcazar) is joining the show later. Apparently, she just can’t resist; she was nostalgic about the disco and everything, saying “Yes” like she was channeling a 90s music video. Sounds like one hell of a dance-off, doesn’t it?
The Dog that Steals the Show
And speaking of things that steal the spotlight, let’s not forget Kerstin’s beloved dachshund, charmingly named The Party. The dog’s already snagged a fair share of fame! I can just see it now: the leash in one hand and a microphone in the other while our star performer tries to keep her composure enough to actually sing. Honestly, how does one compete with a tiny creature that embodies joy? The name alone is a winning entry on a list of fun dog names!
Musical Aspirations and Grammy Buzz
The scoop doesn’t stop there! Kerstin was nominated for three Grammys for her debut album, Till You, but it seems she’s not one to carry a grudge. In her own words, “I wasn’t sad at all!” Now that’s some good attitude, isn’t it? It’s like being told “you’re almost fabulous” but deciding to take it as the compliment it is. You’ve got to love the resilience of artists; it’s like watching a cat land on its feet after jumping off a tall bookshelf!
So, What’s Next?
With a tour lined up across ten venues in Sweden just after the So Much Better finale, it looks like if you’re looking for her, she’ll be busy on stage! She insists that if you want to hear those lovely tunes live, you had better grab a ticket. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to see that? It’s the kind of energy that could have someone questioning why they ever considered staying home with Netflix again!
Final Thoughts
And in case you were wondering, yes, she’s still “super gay”—a statement she’s proud of, and rightly so! It seems, at the end of the day, Kerstin has everything it takes: talent, charm, and a sprinkle of cheekiness. She’s out to prove that music is indeed “So Much Better” when you’re being your authentic self. Catch a visual of that incredible spirit when you hear her songs live. And if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll even get a glimpse of that star-dachshund!
The other, strutting down the red carpet!
