Sweden win this year's Eurovision song contest

Sweden has won this year's 2023 Eurovision with an incredible total of 583 points.

Loreen landed Sweden its seventh ever win at the Eurovision with her club hit 'Tattoo', and she's also only the second person behind Ireland's own Johnny Logan to win the Eurovision. Loreen faced a late challenge from Finland’s wildly-popular Käärijä, but she triumphed to take home the trophy.

Finland were the runners up with quirky singer Kaarija's hyper-pop-rap tune Cha Cha Cha, and Israel came in third place with Unicorn.

Many Irish Twitter users were delighted to see Loreen win again after she previously won with her song Euphoria ten years ago. One person commented: "Great song from Loreen, remember Euphoria like it was yesterday."

A second added: "Well done to Sweden and Loreen!" A third said: "They're tired with Ireland for seven wins now."
