ESC 2024 has officially started, and like each year, the Turquoise carpet was rolled out for this year's contestants - a very big event that marks the start of one of music's biggest events of the year. The press was, of course, present, together with various media representatives all looking for an interview. This meant that every artist was eager to make a statement, and for this, every detail had to contribute to the overall picture, including their outfit. With audiences worldwide tuning in, the pressure was on.
Luxembourgish artist Tali, opted for an outfit from french-luxembourgish embroidery and textile artist Yanis Miltgen. The outfit was embroidered with 40,000 pearls, with the jacket weighing a total of 7 kg. Accompanied by the Luxembourgish delegation, Tali took advantage of the occasion to create content for social media platforms.
In an RTL interview, fellow contestants expressed their admiration for Tali's song and highlighted the fantastic atmosphere among participants. They described it as being like a big musical family, where everyone gets along and collaborates to spread positive vibes worldwide. Even German musician Isaak emphasised in an interview: "We are United by Music. Despite the many challenges in the world, here we come together, united solely by music. That's what truly matters."
Meanwhile, in Malmö, protests concerning the Israel-Palestine situation have dominated the past few days, with Israel's involvement facing heavy criticism. Security measures in Malmö have been heightened, with police forces from Sweden, Denmark, and Norway collaborating to ensure safety. This year, no expense has been spared to guarantee security at the event.
