The one and only Loreen has just made even more history than she already has. The 39 year old singer has won Melodifestivalen 2023, and will represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool.
Two weeks ago, when Loreen rehearsed “Tattoo” for the first time, she skyrocketed in the Melodifestivalen odds to first place. Not only did she get herself to first place, she also made a magnificent impact on the Eurovision odds. For months Ukraine was first, but as of writing Sweden holds the first place with a 38% chance of winning.
We all know Loreen, as she has won Eurovision before in 2012 with her pop hit “Euphoria”. The song remains one of the most popular Eurovision songs of all time.
Loreen has participated 3 times in Melodifestivalen before. Her first time was in 2010, where she took part with “My Heart Is Refusing Me”. In the end she only got to the Andra Chansen round. In 2017 she took part another time with “Statements”. However the past repeated itself and she got to the Andra Chansen round again, where she failed to qualify.
Tonight she has won Melodifestivalen with “Tattoo”, and you can watch the performance here:
We will see Loreen perform “Tattoo”in the first Semi Final on May 9th. Can she win it all again in Liverpool 2023?
