Carly Rae Jepsen Opens Up About Dating and 'Being Confident Enough to Put Yourself Out There'

The Canadian pop singer-songwriter spoke about her personal life ahead of her performance at the Glastonbury Festival on Friday

Carly Rae Jepsen is opening up about taking romantic risks in her personal life.

“There’s something really cool about being confident enough to put yourself out there," Jepsen, 37, told the BBC ahead of her appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in England on Friday.

“If the connection happens, that becomes its own beautiful thing — but just saying you’re interested is a cool step to take," added the "Call Me Maybe" singer, who went Instagram official with her boyfriend Cole Marsden Greif-Neill — better known Grammy-winning music producer Cole M.G.N. — in November 2022.

"The world needs more of that because, as I've written about extensively, a lot of people are very lonely,” Jepsen continued.

"And if we get comfortable with rejection, and put ourselves out there, and let it fly and see what happens, then there's more fun and adventures to be had."

The Canadian pop singer-songwriter is appearing at Glastonbury for the first time. The festival is held in a remote part of rural Somerset, England every June and attracts the biggest names in music — including this year's headline acts Guns 'N Roses and Elton John.

"I'm so excited for the festival. I've heard so many iconic, wonderful things," Jepsen told the BBC about her show, adding that she had "come prepared" by packing all her sundresses for the event, which attracts a crowd of more than 200,000 people.
