Miss. Jepsen looks beautiful on the January cover of Cosmopolitan.
Cosmopolitan: Her hit song has 300 million views (and counting) on youtube—and inspired spoofs by Bieber, the U.S. Olympic swim team, and the Harvard baseball team (among others). Carly Rae Jepsen, 27, talks about how her life changed in a year.
Carly's Cinderella story is a modern classic: a singer with dreams of the big time, performing at bars and cafés (and waiting tables) for years, trying to catch her break. The twist: Justin Bieber turned out to be her fairy godmother.
If The Biebs hadn't been washing dishes at his mom's house near Stratford, Ontario, he wouldn't have caught "Call Me Maybe" on the radio or tweeted about it to his 29 million followers or made a video with his friends (including GF Selena Gomez) lip-synching to the insanely catchy tune. He wouldn't have introduced Carly to Ellen DeGeneres or signed her to his label or invited her to tour with him in front of sold-out crowds around the world. And while Carly has worked really hard to get where she is today, she is not oblivious to the push Justin gave her career.
"I never get tired of being asked about him," she says, as she glides around the kitchenette of her tour bus, which is camped next to Justin's outside the Staples Center, in L.A. "I'm forever indebted to him for the lovely boost that he's given me."
But Carly is more than just a teen meme. While Justin may have given her a lucky break, she's tougher and more driven than her candypop vocals would suggest. A native of Mission, British Columbia, she started performing when she was just 7 years old. In 2007, at 22, she scrapped her way to a spot on Canadian Idol, even though a lot of friends gave her grief for subjecting herself to the humiliations of a reality show. But with tenacity and a business savvy mindset, she managed to turn her final three finish on the show to a number one Billboard song that stayed on top of the charts for nine weeks in 2012.
