Stockholm wants to host Eurovision next year if the Swedish entry KAJ wins this year's competition. Yes, we'd be happy to do that, says finance commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) to Dagens Nyheter.

Wanngård however means that it will require right economic conditions.

Our large arenas, Avicii and Strawberry, are booked a long time in advance. But we know in any case that Taylor Swift is not on the way, she says to the newspaper.

According to Wanngård, the municipality must get loose an arena at least a couple of months before the competition, since SVT needs eight weeks of preparation time.

Both Gothenburg and Malmö have previously announced that they do not want to arrange Eurovision in the event of a Swedish win in Basel.

Stockholm has arranged the competition three times before, 1975, 2000 and 2016.
