Montaigne will be representing Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in Rotterdam later this year.

The news was confirmed on Australia Decides, seeing 10 hopeful contestants, including the likes of Vanessa Amorosi, Didirri and Jaguar Jonze, go head to head for a chance to perform on the iconic show.

However, despite tough competition, the 24-year-old reigned supreme and topped the leaderboard with a whopping score of 107.

Executive supervisor of the contest, Jon Ola Sand, was on hand to announced the winner during the tense event.

Taking to the stage alongside popular presenter Joel Creasey, he said: ’10 great artists, 10 great performances and 10 great songs.

‘People often ask me if Australia could really with the Eurovision Song Contest, and I say of course Australia can!’

The 58-year-old then revealed that they have a valid result, and relayed his iconic catchphrase ‘take it away,’ before leaving the stage.

Montaigne won both the jury and public’s vote, with her incredible track Don’t Break Me.

And it seems as though she was overjoyed with the news, as she beamed down the cameras while holding onto her award, before performing the tune one last time.

Speaking about the hit, she said: ‘Don’t Break Me is a depiction of the enough is enough phase of a relationship breakdown, where one person feels like they are putting much more time, energy and resources into the relationship than the other person and becomes frustrated and resentful.

‘I wrote it while reading Codependent No More by Melody Beattie, which really informed the qualities of the character and the relationship dynamic.’
