While she may not have had the result she’d hoped for, she does still have reason to celebrate, as her track I Wrote A Song is said to be nearing a Top 10 result in the charts.
The UK singer, 25, who finished 25th out of 26 countries, shared a post to her 174,000 followers on Instagram, thanking those who had backed her.
‘What an experience,’ she began. ‘Just wanted to say thank you for all your support over the last few months, it’s been overwhelming.’
She continued: ‘We didn’t get the result we had hoped for [on Saturday night] but I will remember the energy in that room forever!’
Speaking about her potential future endeavours in pop, Mae added: ‘Can’t wait to see you all again soon, I had a f*****g fabulous time.’
Mae’s performance went over well with the audience at Liverpool’s Echo Arena but failed to persuade the juries or the TV viewers to push her higher up the table.
Responding to Mae’s post on Instagram, singer and songwriter Maisie Peters said: ‘You killed! That’s my Eurovision princess forever.’
Popstar and radio DJ Sophie Ellis Bextor commented: ‘You were brilliant. So proud of you and impressed and all the good stuff.’
Also sending good wishes was Eurovision presenter and radio DJ Scott Mills: ‘One of the best songs in the contest and you smashed it. Love you loads, you’re the best.’
Mae’s performance of I Wrote A Song received 15 points from the national juries and just nine points from the worldwide televoting, leaving her with 24 points overall.
It’s the lowest points scored by a UK Eurovision act since James Newman scored 0 points in 2021 and Electro Velvet’s Still In Love With You got 12 points in 2015.
Nonetheless, according to the Official Charts, the track is predicted to reach number nine on the charts this week, which would give Mae her very first top 10 hit.
The contest was eventually won on Saturday by two-time winner Loreen, whose song Tattoo means the competition will be heading back to Sweden, and most likely set to take place in the capital city of Stockholm.
Eurovision being hosted in Sweden in 2024 is appropriate, given that Abba famously won the competition for the country in 1974 with their breakout hit Waterloo.
On Monday morning, Susanna Reid brought up the conspiracy theory that Sweden’s victory might have had something to do with it being 50 years since Abba’s triumph.
‘Anybody who thinks it’s anything to do with the fact that it’s ABBA’s 50th anniversary next year…’ she said, ‘that is a conspiracy theory and we mustn’t indulge those theories at all.’
It’s unclear if she was being sarcastic.
The Eurovision Song Contest is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
