After winning Eurovision for Sweden in 2012 with dance hit Euphoria, Loreen is the bookies’ favourite to claw her way to victory this year, too.
And the singer hopes to be up to scratch by hitting the stage wearing huge fake nails featuring smoky quartz from her homeland – while also channelling the “vibrations” of the Merseyside landscape for her performance in Liverpool.
Loreen – representing Sweden with her new single Tattoo, out now – tells the Mirror she is importing crushed smoky quartz (good luck in customs...) to be made into giant talons as part of her fire, water, earth and air-themed routine.
