Sweden wins the Eurovision Song Contest after an emotional show in Britain that celebrated Ukraine
Sweden’s Loreen has won the Eurovision Song Contest for a second time, earning a historic triumph at an extravagant and crowd-pleasing show held in Liverpool, United Kingdom, on behalf of Ukraine. She became just the second performer to win the competition more than once, clinching victory with pop ballad “Tattoo” and cementing her legacy at the kitsch and wildly celebrated music contest. Loreen had previously won the contest in Baku in 2012, with her career-altering hit “Euphoria.
Sweden’s winning act, Loreen, told CNN ahead of the final that her first victory was “one of the most important moments in my life.” “Before ‘Euphoria,’ I was a struggling artist trying to find my way,” she said. “It’s like home for me, the Eurovision community,” the singer added. “It’s a safe space for me.” She clinched a second victory 50 years after ABBA won the contest with “Waterloo” – the moment that shot them to superstardom.
