"Fångad av en stormvind" (English: "Captured by a Storm Wind") is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Carola Häggkvist. It was written and produced by Stephan Berg. The song is the best known as Sweden's winning entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 held in Rome, Italy, with 146 points.
"Fångad av en stormvind" peaked at number-three on the Swedish Singles Chart and number-six on the Norwegian Singles Chart, while its English-language version "Captured by a Lovestorm" charted in Austria, Belgium (Flanders) and The Netherlands.
Carola earned the right to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 after convincingly winning Melodifestivalen 1991. Her entry "Fångad av en stormvind" received 78 points, 32 points more than the runner-up song "Ett liv med dej" by Towe Jaarnek.
At the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, which was held in Rome, Italy, Carola performed eighth, following Luxembourg's Sarah Bray with "Un baiser volé", and preceding France's Amina with "C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison". At the end of the voting procedure, Sweden and France had 146 points each. However, Sweden was given the victory as it had received more ten-point votes than France, as that was the procedure at the time. That rule had been introduced in order to avoid the split victory, as it had happened at the Eurovision Song Contest 1968. The 1991 Contest was the first and the last time that procedure was used.
