Bulgaria has won the Eurovision Song Contest. Singer DARA, 27, had been representing the country with Bangaranga and managed to reign supreme in the international competition by accumulating 516 points in total.
Following their big win, DARA collapsed to the floor as confetti rained down. This is the first time the country have won, after previously finishing second in 2017.
To cheers from around the stadium in Vienna, she then performed the track once again to close out the contest, and, in the process, confirming that it will all take place in Bulgaria next year.
Just moments before her big win, DARA admitted: “Honey, I still do not know what’s going on. I want to thank everyone who gave us those points, we really tried to give our best. Thank you so much for the whole show.”
Last year’s winner, JJ, then presented the trophy as he screamed: “Oh my god, I love you, congratulations girl!”
