"It was a great first rep. Now I just need to find my positions and get the energy up from the start," she says when TT reaches her by phone.
The Swedish Eurovision team traveled to Vienna on Friday and on Saturday afternoon it was time for Felicia - who came in second in the first semi-final - to get a feel for the stage.
"It felt smaller than the one in Melodifestivalen."
Feels unreal
However, the fact that she will stand there and sing in front of an audience of millions in a little more than a week feels unreal, says Felicia.
"It's hard to take in. I mean, it's almost impossible. It's crazy, but I'm really going to try to stop during the journey and try to understand where I am and what I'm doing right now."
In a previous interview with TT, Felicia said that she wanted to "make sure Israel doesn't win" and she has previously stated that the country should not be allowed to compete.
"People took it very seriously, but I'm here to do my best and make sure I come in first. I want to beat everyone. I've seen that I'm seventh in the odds right now and that sucks. But I'm living on hope."
Are you a winner?
"I love winning, whether it's Eurovision or a pickaxe."
Everyone stands out
She hasn't seen much of Vienna so far, she says, but she still feels at home - both in the city and in the Eurovision context.
"It feels like people immediately accept that I choose not to show my whole face. In Sweden it took a really long time for people to understand. But in Eurovision everyone really stands out and does their thing; I don't feel like an alien."
The next rehearsal is on Wednesday next week and until then, interviews and more rehearsals await at the hotel.
"And maybe a little sightseeing," says Felicia.
