It was time to honour Carola Häggkvist, one of our finest performers of all time, on Sunday in the TV4 hit What a Life. She is 40 this year as an artist; let's speak about the 40 years that have had an impact.
She received visits from family, friends, and former coworkers during the show. However, it's possible that daughter Zoe had the most impact.
Carola had to sit down on the sofa at the Oscar Theatre when the programme kicked off with an interpretation of her first hit song, Främling, sung by none other than the song's author, Lasse Holm.
There were two emotionally charged hours in the box as the surprises followed one another. Naturally, when Renée Nyberg invited toddlers Amadeus Söögard and Zoe Häggkvist into the studio, you could practically sense Carola's joy.
Among other things, Minister Zoe related a tragic incident on a trip to South Africa:
- Just as we were about to leave for South Africa, we heard this beep. Then you turn around and investigate what it may be. Then, when she opens the bag, she finds blades within. She talks on the miss of her mother Carola.
"You must be joking," they said. I had planned to repack that at Arlanda. Carola stands her ground.
The kids also wanted to honour their cherished mother, Carola, in addition to the strange stories about her life that were being told. When asked what Carola is like as a mother, Amadeus replied:
- Extremely impulsive. Unfiltered. how you imagine her to be. That's also what's enjoyable. Around her, you have to be alert. You are tested, which I find enjoyable. And much of "do first, think later"
Carola seems significantly moved on the couch as Zoe responds to the query, placing a hand on Zoe's shoulder and giving her a kind smile:
She is obstinate and playful. She always has such a cheerful attitude, which makes me extremely pleased.
What a fantastic surprise and amazing evening!
