The Brilliant Queerness of Carly Rae Jepsen

But one thing was different: We were capping off our night with a performance by Carly Rae Jepsen at Heaven, a gay super-club nestled beneath the arches of a railway station. We stepped through the door and into 1980s neon splendor, where we danced, tipsily, and waited for the real show. At last, Jepsen climbed onstage in black heels and a bright lemon-yellow pantsuit and bounced ecstatically as she sang her sugary-sweet odes to love.
Thirty minutes later, Jepsen was gone. This was in June of 2015, only a couple of months before she released her third studio album, Emotion, widely applauded as one of the best pop albums of 2015.

“I ponder my mum invited him over for dinner at one point when she was in LA with me. I was like, ok cool he’s not gonna come, it’s like a family dinner, but he arrived and then it felt very date-like. I assume our first dine was with my mother”
On her trial on Canadian Idol:
“I guess technically that was my breakout in Canada. I came third. I really wasn’t expecting to make it far at all on that present, I felt love it was such a coin-toss”
On her new song Julien:

Among my defining ego traits are playing 2048 in the year of our lord 2022 — many people possess made fun of me for this, but it’s appreciate a fidget toy for me at this point — as well as baking banana bread, and being the number one Carly Rae Jepsen fan in most of my social circles.
Like most people, Call Me Maybe was my first exposure to Carly Rae Jepsen. For some reason, the sixth graders01because for some other reason, my elementary school went up to sixth grade instead of termination at fifth at my elementary institution would do a flash mob at the last assembly of every year, so without warning, music would commence blaring from the speakers and suddenly there was a dance number happening at one conclusion of the gymnasium.
In fourth grade, Call Me Maybe was the song that the sixth graders decided to do a flash mob to. And then afterwards, I went residence, logged onto my dad’s PC and looked up the music video. I firmly believe that Carly Rae Jepsen changed the trajectory of the male lover rights movement forever with that video.
