The Great Creators with Guy Raz

Carly Rae Jepsen: How The Pop Superstar Handled her Meteoric Rise to Fame, Learned the Art of Collaboration, and Why She Says Friendship Is the Key to a Great Song


Listen Later

At the beginning of 2012, Carly Rae Jepsen was working as a waitress in Vancouver, BC, dropping off demo tapes and playing coffeeshops in her free time. By the end of that year, she was a global superstar thanks to her hit song "Call Me Maybe". Since then, Carly has become a pop fixture with four chart-topping albums. She joins Guy to talk about how she handled the pressure of her sudden rise to fame and built a career, her secret to good collaboration, and the inspiration behind her latest albums: "The Loneliest Time" and "The Loveliest Time".
