The Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 took place live in Liverpool, UK, where 26 countries competed for the trophy, and the honor of hosting next year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
After 4 hours of music, performances, entertainment and excitement, Loreen from Sweden was crowned the winner of the 67th Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Tattoo”.
After the jury scores were announced, Sweden’s entry Tattoo by Loreen was leading the pack with 340 points, with Israel and Italy behind with 177 and 176 points respectively.
After a tension-packed announcement of the public vote, it was revealed that Tattoo received enough points to earn the win! Sweden scored a total of 583 points, with Finland finishing in second-place with 526 points.
This is the country’s 7th win, meaning that Sweden now ties with Ireland for the most Eurovision Song Contest wins of all time.
Loreen has actually scored two of those 7 wins for Sweden. In 2012, she won the Contest in Baku with the song Euphoria. Loreen becomes only the second artist in history to have won the Eurovision Song Contest twice, after Johnny Logan did the double for Ireland in the ’80s.
