So it’s the day you’ve all been waiting for. A birthday among birthdays. A star standing out in the cosmos of stars that is Eurovision. And not only are they a star, they’re a winner. AND they’re Swedish! Can you contain yourself? I’m struggling, and I know who it is. If you’ve looked ahead, how dare you! I sometimes wonder why I bother. Here I am building her up, and you just click on the link. So if you’ve not clicked on the video, you may wish to know that today’s birthday girl took part three times. She won on her second and then had the audacity to come back again. She didn’t win. So, let me present the one and only Carola Maria Häggkvist. Carola is 49 today.
Grattis på födelsedagen, Carola!
