Loreen Announces Hiatus Amidst Ongoing Projects to Focus on Personal Growth
In a heartfelt message to fans worldwide, Swedish pop icon and two-time Eurovision winner Loreen has announced a temporary hiatus from all current and upcoming projects. The announcement, which comes during the peak of her “Forever 2025” European tour and the recent success of her SAGES collaboration with Ólafur Arnalds, has surprised many but is being met with overwhelming support.
Loreen shared the news via social media, writing, “After an incredible few years filled with music, travel, and deep creative exploration, I feel called to pause and reconnect with myself. This decision wasn’t easy, especially with so many exciting things in motion, but my soul is asking for stillness, reflection, and healing.”
The singer’s 2024 single “Gravity” and her emotionally rich work on SAGES have both shown a more introspective and experimental side of her artistry, which now appears to have been signaling a deeper internal journey. While no specific end date for the hiatus has been mentioned, Loreen assured fans that this is not a goodbye. “This is just a pause. I’ll return with even more truth, love, and purpose in the music I create,” she added.
Her remaining tour dates have been postponed, and her upcoming performance at Brighton and Hove Pride 2025 is now uncertain. Fans and collaborators have expressed their support, emphasizing the importance of mental health and personal renewal.
Loreen’s decision underscores the increasing awareness among artists to prioritize well-being over relentless productivity. For many, this is another reason to admire the artist—not just for her voice and vision, but for her courage to step away and realign.
As she steps into this quieter chapter, the world watches with gratitude and anticipation for what Loreen will
share next.
