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.

“It’s like home for me, the Eurovision community,” the singer added. “It’s a safe space for me.” She is the first woman to win the contest twice; only Ireland’s Johnny Logan has done so before. “It feels crazy,” she said after her victory was announced. “This is so surreal, man, I’m happy and I’m thankful, I’m thankful to all you guys out there that voted for me.” “The only thing I feel right now is so much love. Not in my wildest dreams did I think this was going to happen,” she said.
