Carly Rae Jepsen calls support of LGBT community the ‘gift of my life’

The star brought her high energy set to Auckland this week.

She’s responsible for one of the biggest earworms in recent pop history – but Carly Rae Jepsen is certainly no one-hit wonder.

The Call Me Maybe star brought her tour to Auckland’s Town Hall this week, wowing Kiwi fans with her high-energy set seven years after the hit that got her fast fame.

Jepsen told 1 NEWS she thinks of her concert like “a party”.

“It’s almost a shedding-of-skin feeling - come and let your nhibitions go and leave five pounds lighter. That’s the goal, at least.”

The 34-year-old performed her old hits as well as new ones, including off her new album Dedicated – an infusion of '70s disco, '80s dance and '90s diva.

Jepsen’s fan base is bigger than ever, particularly with the LGBT community – something she calls “the gift of my life”.

“Any room you can go into there’s never a more joyful party than a rainbow party.

“I get to be invited into that and also just get to share any message for people who are too ignorant to understand what a gift these people have to offer.”
