Lorin, the Swedish singer who claimed Eurovision Song Contest glory in 2023 on May 13, spoke in an interview with mk.ru about the distinctive stage look that accompanied the winning performance of the song Tattoo. The moment became a defining part of the victory, tying the music to a bold visual statement.

During the conversation, Lorin explained that the long fingernails were crafted from stone. They were chosen to symbolize elements echoed in the song, including fire, earth, and water. While there was no water on stage, the singer joked that the sweat of the moment kept everything in balance and added to the performance.

She also shared pride in becoming the first woman to win Eurovision twice, emphasizing that the accomplishment is meaningful not only for her but for everyone who supported and voted for the creative interpretation she and her collaborators presented. The sentiment felt almost surreal to the artist as she reflected on the journey.

Regarding a possible return to international competition, Lorin noted that future participation would depend on the spark of inspiration. She recalled an initial hesitation about re-entering Eurovision, followed by a sudden impulse that felt like a wave of creative energy. The artist believes that creativity should know no limits or borders.

Historically, Loreen also won the contest in 2012 with the iconic track Euphoria that left a lasting imprint on Eurovision history. In the 2023 edition, Tattoo earned 583 points. The runner-up was Käärijä from Finland with Cha Cha Cha, while Noa Kirel from Israel secured the third place with Unicorn. These results framed a memorable competition that highlighted a wide spectrum of musical styles and stage artistry, reinforcing Eurovision’s reputation as a platform for bold performances and cross-cultural appeal.
