– Crazy!

Brandstorp revealed that she and Nordberg were engaged on Instagram in May.

– Will he be outside?

– We wonder a little about it, yes, but is asked if he will be on a Greek island, so … I don’t think so. Then I can fast had become Sophie in “Mamma Mia,” Brandstorp jokes.

The 26-year-old is open about the fact that they aren’t stressing about planning the detail right yet.

– Now we’ll just enjoy sharing for a while, she says.

new music

When the holiday is over, she also has some plans for her music career which was a bit “on hold” during the musical period.

– We’re getting married
