YouTuber Nikkie de Jager popularly known as NikkieTutorials, shared her experience as a host at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021.
In a recently uploaded YouTube video, Jager shared her love for the event and how she got to co-host the Eurovision Song Contest 2021:
“I have always loved the festival and I’ve always tweeted about it. I’ve spoken about it throughout the past and like people know that I love the song contest so I kind of put that out there…To my biggest surprise, the organization behind Eurovision contacted me and my team and they are like ‘do you want to come over and have a coffee so we can talk about things’ and I was like ‘of course, we’re going to talk about things.’”
Jager further talked about her goal as a social media influencer to play a huge role in welcoming the organization to the online world:
“My biggest goal was to bring online to the EBU – the EBU is like the big organization behind the Eurovision – and my goal was to introduce online because for so long I was watching these acts and they had an amazing song but I didn’t know anything about the people behind the song, why they chose that dress, why they had you know that visual going on. I wanted to know the people behind the song and they’ve never done anything like that before and they were like ‘well okay, let’s do it.’”
Moreover, Jager talked about having a nervous breakdown hosting Eurovision and launching her exclusive series ‘Look Lab’ that featured the Eurovision participants. You can watch the full YouTube video here:
