Carly Rae Jepsen Set to Host 2027 Juno Awards

Canadian pop star Carly Rae Jepsen has been tapped to host the 56th annual Juno Awards next year. The singer-songwriter will also perform along with Angine de Poitrine, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) said Monday. Jepsen, a three-time Juno winner, will host Canadian music’s biggest night for the first time on April 4, 2027, while Our Lady Peace will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, while also performing. Jepsen for the last 15 years has released a host of critically regarded pop songs. Her breakout hit “Call Me Maybe,” initially released in Canada in 2011, blew up across the world in 2012 and earned the singer two Grammy nominations and a spot atop the Billboard Hot 100. That followed Jepsen placing third on Canadian Idol in 2007. Her second studio album, Kiss, won album of the year and pop album of the year at the 2013 Juno Awards, while also picking up the single of the year trophy. Jepsen has just released her latest project, Day and Night, a 24-track double album. The 2026 Juno Awards, Canada’s version of the Grammys, was hosted by Mae Martin and featured legendary folk singer and songwriter Joni Mitchell making a rare public appearance in Canada to receive a lifetime achievement award. Michael Bublé hosted the 2025 Juno Awards in his hometown of Vancouver. The 56th Annual JUNO Awards will air live on the CBC network and YouTube channel and is produced by Insight Productions.
