## Summary

Robyn has criticised the Eurovision Song Contest, calling it “just shit” and “embarrassing” during an appearance on Amy Poehler’s podcast. She said watching it leaves her feeling overstimulated, contrasting today’s contest with earlier Swedish winners she admired.

Sweden has won Eurovision seven times, including ABBA in 1974 and Carola in 1991; Loreen won in 2012 and 2023. Robyn’s comments come amid debate over Israel’s participation: she signed a 2024 letter calling for Israel to be excluded, and Ireland and the Netherlands have said they will not take part in 2027. Robyn released her ninth album, *Sexistential*, in March, her first full-length record since 2018.
