Loreen has become the first female artist to win the Eurovision Song Contest twice as Tattoo topped the scoreboard during Saturday’s Grand Final.

The singer – who won Eurovision back in 2012 with Euphoria – returned to the show this year with her hit single, which entered the show as a firm favourite.

Having come out on top of the jury vote, Loreen smashed the public vote and came out on top following close competition from Finland’s Käärijä and Israel’s Noa Kirel.

Her victory means the 2024 Contest will be held in Sweden – 50 years since ABBA won Eurovision in Brighton, England in 1974 with Waterloo.

Over the years, several artists have had multiple shots at Eurovision success, but in its 67-year history only Ireland’s Johnny Logan has managed to win twice (with What’s Another Year? in 1980 and again in 1987 with Hold Me Now). 

Loreen said the victory was “overwhelming”, adding: “I’m so happy. I’m so thankful. Thank you for this. This is for you. Thank you.”

Meanwhile, the UK’s Mae Muller failed to match the success of last year”s performer Sam Ryder’s second-place entry Space Man, finishing second to last with her entry, I Wrote A Song.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 Grand Final scoreboard is below.

1. Sweden: Loreen – Tattoo
