The month of February has only recently started, but we are very well into the months of the Eurovision Selection season, and Latvia officially kicked off as well! Yeah! 😀
The Latvian selection is known as “Supernova”, which made it’s debut back in 2015, and since then, Latvia has qualified to the final ever since, so hopefully they can make it a 3rd year in a row, after multiple years, where the journey ended in the semi-finals.
