Swedish singer Loreen has made history by winning the Eurovision Song Contest early Sunday, the seventh of her country after ABBA won first nearly 50 years back.
Loreen defeated 25 competitors in the finale of the world´s biggest live music event.
Britain hosted the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of Ukraine.
The 39-year-old singer, whose real name is Lorine Talhaoui, is the first woman to win the eccentric, much-loved competition twice and only the second person to do so after Johnny Logan for Ireland in the 1980s.
