Loreen and Käärijä got to know each other during the Eurovision Song Contest pre-campaign. Loreen jokes to Yle that Käärijä did not understand her flirtation.
Eurovision fans call her Queen Loreen.
During the interview, he speaks calmly, his gaze is intense and sometimes he touches the journalist’s hands.
For 39-year-old Loreen, it’s important to connect with people. That’s why she rejoined the race to represent Sweden at the Melodifestivalen.
Now he competes in Liverpool Eurovision with the song *Tattoo*. It is the biggest winning favorite in the betting statistics.
– I didn’t think this would be along my path. But now I’m here and I’m happy about it. It’s been a long time since I’ve received and given so much love, says the singer.
Loreen thought for a long time if she would join the five drum again.
– It took a long time before I said yes. But honestly, the biggest reason was because I want to connect with people through creativity. I couldn’t wait for people to want this.
– However, this was my intention and I love this. Maybe this will bring a sense of hope and positivity that we need in this world situation.
Different energies in Finland and Sweden
They have seen each other at the Eurovision pre-party. According to Loreen, the two have enjoyed each other’s company.
– I like him very much. I like him as an artist. He gets me excited. I can feel her energy and she is so genuine. Whenever he’s on stage, I’m like, aargh!
– But he is also absolutely wonderful as a person. We laugh together and I flirted with him and he didn’t get it. Just kidding! Loreen laughs.
Mentioning the Finland-Sweden international match makes Loreen roll her eyes. In his opinion, the competition is something developed by others, in which artists do not want to participate.
– The wrapper has his energy, identity and vibe. Those vibes are important because he lifts the mood. When you look at him and listen to him, you feel alive and want to go crazy.
– I have different energies. All of us creative people have different energies.
Loreen says that winning the Eurovision Song Contest is decided by what kind of atmosphere people want at that particular moment.
– I don’t know what will happen here.
