Singer Carly Rae Jepsen will perform at JetBlue’s Terminal 5 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The special concert, available to ticketed passengers and select contest winners, is scheduled for Aug. 20 at 6 p.m.
The multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated artist and songwriter will close out the airline’s weekly summer concert series with a live preview of her new album, E·MO·TION, one day before the album’s official release. Fans attending the show will hear material from the forthcoming record alongside some of Jepsen’s best-known songs.
E·MO·TION follows Jepsen’s U.S. debut album, Kiss, which included her breakout global hit “Call Me Maybe.” That single reached No. 1 on iTunes singles charts in more than 47 countries, has sold millions of copies worldwide, and earned Jepsen 2012 Grammy nominations for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. The new album marks an important next step in her career and showcases the pop craftsmanship that established her as an international star.
