With its fusion of pop spectacle, diverse cultural elements, and some very lovely camp, the Eurovision Song Contest never fails to disappoint. 2023 marked the 67th edition of the international song competition and its main event, The Grand Final, was nothing short of spectacular. The world's biggest, wackiest, most wonderful musical competition was a riotous extravaganza and social media brought out its memes for the occasion.

This year's event was hosted in Liverpool, England in lieu of Ukraine due to its ongoing war with Russia. Traditionally, the winning country hosts the festivities the following year, in this case, Ukraine, which won Eurovision 2022 with Kalush Orchestra's "Stefania." Due to the war, the UK, last year's runners-up, hosted on Ukraine's behalf.

Even before the start of the Grand Final, Twitter users were already hotly debating who would be this year's winner. While the fan favorite so far seems to be the infectious "Cha Cha Cha" by Finland's Käärijä, the frontrunner without a doubt was Sweden.

The Grand Final goes to...

According to the BBC, this year's Eurovision was the most-watched final in the competition's history. It's easy to see why hundreds of millions of fans worldwide watched as Sweden and Loreen won once again. Her second win since 2012, Loreen becomes the first woman to win the contest twice, with Sweden tying Ireland's Eurovision wins record at seven a piece. Most were delighted for Loreen and Sweden, others were suspicious, and many felt that their country was robbed.

Outside of Sweden, the top five included runners-up Finland, Israel, Italy, and Norway. You can view the full list of winners on the Eurovision website.
