The countdown to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2026 is officially on, and the excitement in Armenia is through the roof! As our young representative Naré prepares to light up the stage this Saturday with her infectious and energetic track “BOO!”, she received a very special surprise that proved just how supportive the Armenian Eurovision family is.

Maléna made a special appearance on the Armenian television program First Channel (Handipum Arajinum) because she simply couldn’t miss the chance to send a heartfelt message of love and encouragement to Naré.

Knowing firsthand what it takes to carry the hopes of an entire nation on the Eurovision stage, our 2021 queen shared some touching words of wisdom for the upcoming star.

Here is what Maléna had to say to Naré:

“I wish Naré to be strong. I wish her to give all her strength that day. I wish her to enjoy every moment. And most importantly, I wish her to be herself, regardless of her language. I am sure that Naré will succeed, and we are all with you. I wish you success.”

With words of encouragement like these from an icon who paved the way, Naré is more than ready to conquer the stage this weekend.

The big question on everyone’s mind as the contest approaches: Will Naré be able to make Armenia the Junior Eurovision champion once again?

Make sure to tune in this Saturday and support Naré all the way! 🇦🇲✨
