For Carly Rae Jepsen itB次元官网网址檚 sure to feel like the first time when she makes her triumphant return to Victoria, a once humble student turned international pop star.

Born and raised in Mission, Jepsen completed the one-year performing arts certificate program at CCPA after graduating high school in 2004. She left to pursue other opportunities and wound up finishing third in the 2007 season of Canadian Idol. She achieved international stardom when her single B次元官网网址淐all Me MaybeB次元官网网址� burst forth from seemingly every radio in the world in 2012.
Jepsen has been back to Victoria once since, opening for fellow B.C. act Hedley at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in 2016, but this will be her first time in town as a headliner since she hit the big time.
Dedicated, released to positive reviews, carries on her brand of accessible, but stylized glitter pop music that could appeal to both 1980s girls just wanting to have fun, and 2019 hipsters looking for modern synth-pop production to appreciate.
The albumB次元官网网址檚 singles, B次元官网网址淣ow That I Found You,B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淣o Drug Like MeB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淭oo Much,B次元官网网址� along with her beloved back catalogue, are sure to take centre stage when Jepsen returns to the Royal this Labour Day weekend.
