For the first time ever, English commentary will be available for the Melodifestivalen Grand Final, via SVT Play. SVT Play broadcasts Melodifestivalen all around the world, without a geo-block. Bella Qvist and Olivia Le Poidevin will be providing the English commentary.

Anette Brattström, Melodifestivalen 2021 Project Manager, had the following to say:

“It feels good to be able to reach out with Melodifestivalen to fans outside of Sweden, a body of viewers that year after year show their love for the program which has never been returned. With their dedication and their love for the show Olivia and Bella will guide our English-speaking viewers through the night in a fantastic way.”

Bella Qvist, English Commentator, had the following to say:

” I am so happy to be part of this exciting new venture welcoming the many, old and new, non-Swedish-speaking viewers to the wonderful world of Melodifestivalen. I know so many people tune in to Melodifestivalen from around the world every week, and I can’t wait to guide you all through the wonders of Melfest. We see you, we love you, and we welcome you aboard the Mello train.”

Olivia Le Poidevin, English Commentator, had the following to say:

“I’ve always been in awe of the quality of the acts that Sweden sends from Melodifestivalen to Eurovision. And it’s so exciting that now, this year, the world can watch to see who will represent Sweden this year. I can’t wait to help you dance through your night at Melfest.”
