After a nail-biting final, Swedish artist Loreen took home the win at the 67th Eurovision Song Contest Saturday night (May 13), which was held in Liverpool, England, on behalf of the 2022 winning country, Ukraine.
This is the Swedish singer-songwriter’s second Eurovision win, becoming only the second performer in the competition’s history to win more than once. This win also makes her the first woman to win the song contest twice. She secured the victory for the Scandinavian country with her chilling pop ballad โTattoo,โ earning 583 points and flanked closely by neighboring Finlandโs beloved pop star Kรครคrijรค.

Loreen’s last win came in 2012 with the song “Euphoria” and her latest triumph means Sweden ties Ireland for the most Eurovision victories with seven. The iconic pop group ABBA is responsible for one of those wins, 50 years earlier. Along with the trophy, Sweden also takes home hosting honors for next year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
