She is originally from [Ottestad](/source/Ottestad) in [Stange Municipality](/source/Stange_Municipality) and started her senior career in [Ottestad IL](/source/Ottestad_IL) in the 3rd division.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

### FL Fart

In the summer of 2018, she went to [FL Fart](/source/FL_Fart) in the 1st division and was involved in the club moving up to the [Toppserien](/source/Toppserien) that autumn. It was announced in September 2019 that she was ready for [LSK Kvinner](/source/LSK_Kvinner_FK) on loan. The [Football Association](/source/Norwegian_Football_Federation) received a complaint about the loan agreement from another club, and after looking at the transfer once more, it was cancelled.[5] Blakstad thus completed the season in Fart and was voted Young Player of the Year in the Toppserien.[6]

She is fearless, explosive, and has offensive qualities at international level. Going forward on the field, she is Rosenborg's most important player and has been involved in over a third of Trønder's goals this season."

In January 2021, she was picked on [UEFA](/source/UEFA)'s list of ten footballers to watch out for in 2021.[11] At the same time as she continued her big game in 2021. Football commentator Kasper Wikestad stated that she is perhaps the greatest talent he has seen live.[12] During the season, she emerged as one of the Toppserien's best players and established herself on the senior Norway national team. She was again nominated as Player of the Year and won the Young Player of the Year award in Toppserien 2021.[13]
