In the clip, the 28-year-old took issue with \u201cthis fucking Wikipedia picture\u201d of her holding a microphone, insisting instead that she wants to be seen on the page in a pink outfit with face paint, without a microphone. \u201cI will never stop changing that picture to a nice one,\u201d she tells the camera. \u201cI will never stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe TikTok shows her and her team going through photos uploaded to Wikipedia and scoffing at ones she deems unflattering. \u201cWhere\u2019s my nice picture?\u201d she asks while scrolling through a gallery. \u201cCan I disapprove these pictures?\u201d Then she finds the pink pic, whose official file name is \u201cZara Larsson Midnight Sun European Tour (cropped).jpg.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cThis is the one that I want,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd this is the one that we\u2019re going to change to and keep changing to and keep changing to forever.
