  "account": "Robyn expressed her disapproval of the Eurovision Song Contest during an interview with comedian Amy Poehler on her podcast, Good Hang. The Swedish pop star, known for hits like \"Waterloo\" and \"Dancing on My Own,\" stated that Eurovision is \"so embarrassing\" and that she finds it overstimulating in a negative way. Robyn mentioned that the Swedish group ABBA, which won Eurovision in 1974 with \"Waterloo,\" is no longer present, and that Carola Häggkvist, an artist she grew up listening to, is no longer a part of the competition. She also noted that the recent controversy surrounding Eurovision, including the country's decision to allow Israel to participate despite its ongoing conflict with Hamas, has contributed to her negative opinion of the event. Robyn's most recent album, Sexistentialism, debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top Dance Albums chart.",
