Miss Snusk competes in Melodifestivalen’s second competition in Gothenburg on Saturday and is one of the year’s biggest stars after topping Spotify’s charts with several hits since the breakthrough song “Ride me like a dala horse” came out this year.
But now Miss Snusk has fallen ill, her PR manager states.
“The miss has overstrained her voice and has also been suffering from an old cold that has settled in her throat,” says Jessica W Sandberg to TT.

Miss Snusk expects to carry out her performance.
— All the focus will be on her participation in Melodifestivalen not suffering. We will likely have to limit what she does apart from the actual ropes and performance. There is a risk that we will cut back on interviews and the like, says Jessica W Sandberg.
The pressure has been great on Miss Snusk in recent weeks after the accusations that she together with the producer Ramus Gozzi manipulated the number of plays on Spotify. Something both deny.

Don’t duck the pressure
But Jessica W Sandberg denies that the information about illness is a strategy to avoid giving interviews before Melodifestivalen.
— We want nothing more than to talk to the press in both Gothenburg and the rest of Sweden. All last week Fröken sat in interviews with almost every media house. It is not our style to dodge questions and Fröken has so far responded to all interview requests, says Jessica W Sandberg.
Miss Snusk always appears in a mask and has not wanted to reveal her real identity.
