Carly Rae Jepsen, the Canadian pop star known for the hit "Call Me Maybe," has been officially announced as the host of the 2027 Juno Awards. The decision was made by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Juno Awards. The ceremony is scheduled to take place on April 4, 2027, at the Winspear Centre in Calgary, Alberta.
Jepsen will also perform during the event, marking her return to the stage after a period of creative hiatus. The Juno Awards, Canada's premier music awards, recognize excellence in Canadian music across various genres. This year's ceremony will also see the induction of Our Lady Peace into the Juno Hall of Fame, a tribute to the band's significant contributions to Canadian music.
The Juno Awards, established in 1984, have become a key event in the Canadian music calendar, celebrating both established and emerging artists. Jepsen's selection as host highlights her continued influence in the industry and her ability to connect with audiences. Her performance at the 2027 ceremony is expected to draw attention to her recent work and reaffirm her status as a leading figure in pop music.
Jepsen's hosting role follows her successful participation in previous Juno events, where she has showcased her versatility as a performer and entertainer. The 2027 ceremony will be the first since 2021 to be held in person, with the event returning to its traditional format after a period of virtual broadcasts due to the pandemic.
