It's actually criminal how this was performed on a semi-final rather than the Grand final.

[@JoPro06]

Yep, this made the semi more enjoyable than the finale was. The finale just seemed a little dull and boring

[@nocturne7371]

I don't know, but I suspect that this would have been to much for Petra to handle in the final with her back problems, when she also had to do the voting. She alreafy had to sit down for the Jury voting as it was-

I could imagine that they couldn't show this in the finale because they had to present their own winner in the interval act

I was one of those people that complained last year when Loreen won instead of Kaarija but honestly this is so good.

[@juliagiovannagatell3370]

Oh yes, you díd it again, this was so magical and having king Käärijä was perfection❤❤❤❤❤

[@josse13579]

1:55 As someone from Denmark, i cracked up 🤣

[@csumme7]

Awesome and the very definition of a good winner. Great presentation Sweden.

[@stefan3597]

Why was this not in the final instead. The interval acts during the final were so boring compared to the semi final.

[@michaelkarnerfors9545]

Because they were more or less obliged to so *something* to commemmorate it was 50 years since Waterloo. The problem is that ABBA are _so_ done with that... I mean, the _youngling_ in the group - Agneta - is 74 years old. Björn hits 80(!) next year. Had it been in 2023 or 2025, they could probably have avoided it. But, alas, they had to do something, dragged ABBA kicking and screaming into it, and for that reason, we got that half-baked mess.

Käärijä's part starts at 4:02 - and the swedes are right, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE IN THE FINAL!!

[@eleonoretsareena1613]

Why we didn't get this in the final instead of Loreen singing on a toilet chair and Conchita with Carola destoying Waterloo ?

Great interval! Love from Italy! 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹❤️👏👏👏

[@joshii32]

I love the passive aggressive energy towards Denmark haha

[@michaelkarnerfors9545]

Sweden has lots of passive agressive love for all our close neighbours.

[@snorlaxtjockofet]

This is probably my favorite thing about Sweden hosting Eurovision; we are amazing when it comes to interval acts

[@Africkinggod]

The two things i love when sweden hosts: Petra Petras intervals

[@julesa759]

This was brilliant! I love this sense of humor😂 You are forgiven for last year.

[@yleniaschembri755]

This is the new version of peace peace love they did last time and I absolutely love it

[@ludwigstoer3040]

This was one of the most beautiful interval acts i've ever seen in Eurovision and Käärijä was the cherry on the pie.

[@paolobarbana7316]

Best act for the semi-final! Well played Sweden!

[@martinhumble]

Thanks. That's so social democracy for you
