LIVERPOOL, England—Sweden’s Loreen won Eurovision 2023 with the song “Tattoo” in Liverpool, northern England, on Saturday, becoming the first woman to triumph twice in the contest.
Finland’s Käärijä, a green-bolero-sleeved rapper, came second. He won the viewer vote with “Cha Cha Cha”, but it was not enough to overtake Loreen’s lead after the result from the juries in the 37 participating countries.
“I am seriously overwhelmed,” Loreen told reporters.
Comparing her win to 2012, she said: “It’s like coming back to a family.”
Loreen is the only person after Ireland’s Johnny Logan to win the contest twice, and her victory puts Sweden level with Ireland as the most successful Eurovision countries, 49 years after Abba’s famous victory….
