Carly Rae Jepsen opened the festivities for Billboard Live Music Summit with a “One Night Only” concert at the Peppermint Club in Los Angeles on Monday, Nov. 9. On an unusually warm night, she performed a 30-minute set with a full band.
The concert was presented by booking agency THE•TEAM. Billboard co-chief content officers Leila Cobo and Jason Lipshutz introduced Jepsen. Lipshutz held a 2012 issue of Billboard featuring Jepsen on its cover, marking the success of “Call Me Maybe,” which spent nine consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The small crowd was largely made up of music industry insiders. Attendees sang along, danced and cheered as Jepsen performed. She told them, “It’s so fun to do an intimate set.”
