Zara Larsson is living her best college life — not as a student but as the one self-appointed to "entertain the educated."

The Midnight Sun singer, 28, showed off her new Ivy League swag after performing at Yale University in a new TikTok, wearing a pink zip-up jacket and cap with the school's logo as she joked how she can now tell people that she "went to Yale."

"I went there to sing... once. So technically, I did go to Yale, yes," she said, adding, "Best believe I will wear this in the airports and everywhere so if you see me in this, mind your business please."

Larsson explained that she has been on a "college show tour" and has performed at several schools over the last week, a move she made "a long time ago" to help pay for her "real" Midnight Sun tour "because it's so expensive to tour."

"Some people pay to go to college, I get paid to go to college," she quipped.

However, the Swedish pop star's time on campus has also led to her reflecting on her own yearning for higher education.

"A part of me [wishes] I went to college because I didn't even finish high school," she said. "I hate saying that because it doesn't match my brain, like, I'm a smart girl. But someone has to entertain the educated and that's my job. And I take that seriously."

Larsson, who noted she's been having a lot of fun on the school circuit, is also preparing to drop her remix album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip and will preview the record in a special iHeartRadio Album Preview ahead of its release on May 1.
