Sweden’s Eurovision Song Contest entry suffered issues with their costume just moments into their routine.<\/p>\n

Performer Felicia took to the stage in Vienna during the first round of two semi-finals on Tuesday night (May 12)<\/a> to deliver her energetic track My System, sporting a black sparkly mask concealing the lower portion of her face.<\/p>\n

But things seemingly went wrong during the song. When the lights went down and she reappeared, Felicia was sporting oversized spectacles but the mask had vanished.<\/p>\n

She carried on performing as though nothing had occurred, but BBC<\/a> presenters Angela Scanlon and Rylan Clark admitted that this wasn’t meant to take place.<\/p>\n

Scanlon said: “That’s a bit of a wardrobe malfunction on the old glasses, isn’t it? She let the mask slip too, this is all a bit of an exclusive, we didn’t see this in rehearsal.” Clark jokingly chipped in: “I’m just happy she’s got a mouth! I didn’t know if she had one or not.”<\/p>\n

Despite the costume blunder, supporters were still thoroughly enjoying Felicia’s act. Someone commented on X: “I think #Norway (in Thursday’s semi final) is my favourite, but that #Sweden performance was something else…What a tune!<\/p>\n

“Sweden was damn good, will definitely qualify!”, a second commented as another described it as a “pure dance banger”. A fellow viewer added: “Sweden is the queen and king when it comes to Eurovision, they don’t play it lightly.”<\/p>\n

The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 saw 15 nations in each semi-final battle for their spot in the legendary grand final this Saturday, May 16, on BBC One. The leading 10 nations from each semi-final will join the five pre-qualified countries – France, Germany, Italy, the UK, and last year’s winner, Austria – on the evening of the grand final.<\/p>\n

Sweden were among the 10 countries that qualified. The others were Croatia, Moldova, Greece, Finland, Israel, Belgium, Lithuania, Poland and Serbia.<\/p>\n

Eurovision 2026 is being held in Vienna, Austria, after 24-year-old JJ claimed the coveted trophy last year with his performance of Wasted Love.<\/p>\n
