Zara Larsson stopped by the Today_ show on Friday to kick off its Summer Concert Series and discuss her new remix album, Midnight Sun (Girls Trip). When taking the stage in front of the massive crowd of fans, the hosts surprised her with a clip of none other than Mick Jagger, who had appeared on the show a few days prior for a separate interview.

In the video, Jagger was asked which contemporary artist he’s been listening to these days, to which the rocker replied, “My son said to me, ‘Oh, Zara Larsson is having a big comeback.’ I said, ‘But she never went away for me.'” Jagger added that he’s been a fan of the singer since her 2018 hit track, “Ruin My Life,” and said, “When I’m in that mood, that’s what I like.”

“I can’t believe it,” Larsson said after the clip rolled. “It’s so beautiful to just see how everyone’s coming on this journey.
