Grammy Award-nominated, multi-platinum, singer/songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen, who has sold more than 20 million singles worldwide, will perform a free concert aboard Carnival Splendor in February 2018, as part of the Carnival LIVE Concert Series.
The concert marks the first time the cruise line is collaborating with Universal Music Group and Brands (UMGB), the brand strategy and partnership division of Universal Music Group, Carnival Cruise Line said.
The concert is a departure from previous Carnival LIVE performances in that it is free and open to all guests sailing on Carnival Splendor's February 17, 2018, seven-day voyage, the cruise line noted. The concert will take place on Carnival Splendor's Lido Deck February 18 while the ship is at sea during a week-long Mexican Riviera cruise that operates round-trip from Long Beach, CA. The voyage includes a day-long call at Puerto Vallarta and two days at Cabo San Lucas.
Jepsen broke onto the music scene in 2012 with her major label debut Kiss that included the smash hit "Call Me Maybe," which climbed to #1 on the iTunes Singles charts in more than 47 countries and earned her Grammy Award nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. After starring in the Broadway production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, Jepsen released her next album, E·MO·TION, which included the Billboard Top 40 hit "I Really Like You."
Jepsen also starred as the Pink Lady, "Frenchy," in FOX's four-time Emmy award winning musical GREASE: LIVE and most recently voiced the character of Odette in the animated movie "LEAP!". "LEAP!" also featured Jepsen's new song "Cut To The Feeling."
Jepsen joins a lineup of Carnival LIVE artists who run the gamut of musical genres, from rock, country, R&B, and pop, as well as some of the biggest names in comedy. Previous Carnival LIVE artists include music superstars Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood and comedians Jim Gaffigan and Chris Tucker.
