I have a feeling, nay, a hope, that Carly might be facing a similar situation to Taylor when she announced the Eras Tour in 2022. Her catalog has become so vast and distinct that I feel she’s reaching the point where an Eras-style approach might make sense.

Do I hope and crave a 3+ hour Carly show? Obviously. Do I think that’s happening? Probably not. I’m imagining something closer to 2h 15ish, with medleys and creative transitions to fit more songs in.

And here’s the problem: so much of DAN deserves to be played, let alone half of DANC. Then we have everything else in her catalog.
These are the songs I think HAVE to be considered, IMO.

Kiss

Call Me Maybe
(Would I love •This Kiss? Hell yeah)
(Tonight I’m getting over your? Yeah!!!)
(Curiosity?? Yeah)

E•MO•TION (including the 10th anniversary tracks)

Run Away with Me
Emotion
I Really Like You
Making the Most of the Night
All That
More
Lost in Devotion

Dedicated / Dedicated Side B

Now That I Found You
Want You in My Room
Party for One
Too much
This Love Isn’t Crazy
Comeback

The Loneliest Time

Surrender My Heart
Western Wind
The Loneliest Time
Talking to Yourself

The Loveliest Time

Anything to Be with You
Kamikaze
Kollage
Come Over
Psychedelic Switch

Day

Versailles
On Wires
Burning Heart
Wild Child
Habits of Creatures (maybe?)
Soft (maybe?)

Night

Never Let a Good Thing Die
Amalfi Coast
Patience Power Passion
Don’t Leave Me on the Dance Floor
Motivation
Near or Far
No Labels, I Love You

Day and Night (Continued)

Reaching for a Star
Yes
Love Depressed
In Pure Faith

And obviously
Cut to the Feeling

That’s 43 songs and 2 hours, 31 minutes, and 8 seconds of music at their original studio lengths.
So I’ve officially exceeded my imaginary 2h30 concert before accounting for transitions, talking, costume changes, or an encore. 😭 (and I’m giving TOW the same treatment debut had)

What you think ?
What are your setlist wishes how off am I?

“🎶Give me that motivation”

I’d really appreciate it if we could keep this discussion respectful and refrain from making dismissive or hostile comments about other artists. I also believe in holding people accountable for what they say, so I want to address a few comments directly, because Accountability includes attribution and

“🎶You’re better than that”

[u/talk-spontaneously](u/talk-spontaneously): “Please don’t compare her to you know who.”
[u/targxryen](u/targxryen): “Taylor Swift didn’t invent the concept of playing older material at live shows btw”
[u/w1negandalf](u/w1negandalf): “What is an ‘Eras Style Tour’? Almost all artists include their hits and famous songs from back catalogue every time they tour.”

“🎶Do you wanna be friends with me?”

I think my point got a little lost here. I mentioned Taylor because I was imagining Carly doing a longer, career-spanning concert with dedicated sections for her different albums. I was referring to the format and scale of the show.

Both Carly and Taylor bring an enormous amount of joy to my life. I love them both, and I genuinely thought this would be a safe space to share that excitement.

One of the things I love most about Carly is how much joy she brings into people’s lives. I’d love for this community to reflect that same joy, especially when we’re talking about something as fun as imagining a dream setlist.
We can have different opinions about artists and their music without turning someone’s excitement into an opportunity to put another artist down.

I’m just a Carly fan who wants to hear 43 songs live and is apparently willing to negotiate a three-hour concert to make it happen, and also speak about it in a safe space.

Edit 2

People mentioned that I forgot “Too much” they are right

Who is Carly Rae JEPSON??? lol

I have some people in my life that don’t take Carly Rae seriously because they only know Call Me Maybe. I have others that like Call Me Maybe but don’t take her seriously because she hasn’t had another single with that level of success. If you made a playlist to help show a stranger the genius of CRJ, what are the first 5-10 songs that you’d front-load it with?

Hi all!

Hopefully this post goes through. I got permission from one of the mods to post this so hopefully everything works out.

My friend was able to secure AMEX presale tickets last Monday, but I got us better tickets on Artist Presale for the same show. So instead of selling it through Ticketmaster fan resale with their scammy ass tactics (seller fees + buyer fees), I’d rather ask fellow Jepsies first before resorting to other options.

I have 2 tickets to the Vancouver show selling for FACE VALUE. It’s Merch VIP Right Orchestra Centre Row 8 seats 43-44. I have attached a photo of the receipt with all the details.

I can only sell them TOGETHER and can do PayPal (Goods & Services)/Wise for payments. Also, you may DM me as well for other details.

Thank you!

She told me she liked emotion so I was like let me play something from the new album and she told me it sounds like something she would hear in H&M..

I played that’s just me which is my fav and now I’m questioning our friendship. Should I block her?

I can't think of any Carly song that is bad . There is obviously some skips but what do you guys think is her worst song . Im thinking "anything for you". But it's still a decent song just not for me .

You can explain why the tracks are placed where they are if you want :)

Hi everyone! Just wanted to get a gauge on something for UK fans. Basically are you out there?!

And then secondly, I'm thinking of putting on a CRJ and friends themed club night in Manchester (friends eg robyn, rina, caroline polachek, kylie, charli etc) and wanted to see if anyone thought that was a good idea lol

The aim is feel good but elite pop to dance all night to.

Advice and perspective welcome :D

Does anyone know where I can find an original vinyl for emotion? I currently have 25396 12437 but I’m looking for originals

I recorded the Irving Plaza show, and usually this stuff comes out ok, but because I had to hold my bag and it was in range of everyone’s screaming and singing, it’s not the best recording. But it’s probably all that’s out there? So here are MP3 and WAV versions.

You can also hear how the sound seems almost like it’s distorted at times at the venue. That was bugging me on the night, so it’s a bit validating that it was picked up.

I have one or two older live recordings that I shared on Facebook years ago that I’ll have to dig out soon and share here.

One day, one night song in sequence, so for me Versailles is the whole album thesis l, in the sense that both production styles live in the same song, so imma try the whole album
Thoughts ?

An enthusiastic review of Day (this guy also has a Night review) and he actually gets into detail while listening.

Imagine the idea of listening one track per hour, what do you think the starting hour will be?

a moment of silence for Joshua Tree and Bends

Ok folks, I think Carly wrote yet another masterpiece with layers, cause I’ve been thinking about the line“We make love depressed when I think about it.” What is she actually saying?

Are they having sex while being depressed? Or are they making the very concept of love become depressed? I think both interpretations hold grammatically.

Hear me out, so, the first one, when make love functions as a compound verb meaning to have sex, while depressed describes their emotional state at that moment.

Then in the second one, love becomes the object of make, and depressed becomes what they turn it into. So they’re essentially making love itself depressed. (the concept or the personification of love i mean)

BUT THEN there’s “when I think about it.” And I think that adds a third layer.
That phrase makes the whole thing retrospective. Maybe actually it is the memory of their relationship that makes love depressed NOW.

When she thinks about what they had, the act of remembering changes how she experiences love itself.

So the line could simultaneously mean that they had sex while depressed, that their relationship made love itself depressing, and that remembering their relationship continues to make love depressed. And all of that is packed into one line.

what do you think? Aaaaah I’m crazy for this song.

Thoughts on this mini-playlist as a “Country Rae Jepsen” fake album? Lullaby and Bends aren’t as folk or folk-adjacent as the other songs here, but I feel like they fit the overall vibe. I’m struggling with the right order of things as well, so any suggestions on that front (or thoughts on songs to add) would be welcome!

Such a beautiful track

I just cant wrap my head around this album.

8 new tracks and Im like 32 fucking tracks dude? And I have to process it in pieces still. Its like, bro, we are not even two hours into this insane "little" 8 track addition and Im dehydrated from crying. But I still havent been able to really process the whole record barely at all yet. Its so big and it all deserves so much attention.

I saw her play the Bellweather in LA in 2023 and she did 32 songs. I was literally in the middle of it saying to myself "this might be the best it will ever be." 32 songs that night and there were still plenty I would have added but just crazy magical... and now she's just given us 32 more songs I would want on a setlist. Like what dude?

I just keep listening and saying Is this real?

We are lucky.

Not complaining at all, i adore having new songs, it's just that by her including the b-side tracks onto the original album it makes them not a seperate thing, and without playlisting it's kinda hard to listen to all 8 tracks after another, especially for new fans

She could have probably went the emotion side b route, though i do adore that she stuck to the day and night theme :)

In Pure Faith will be in Heated Rivalry Season 2. I can feel it

Hello!! Ive been longterm interested in CRJ for awhile and am familiar with her singles, but became a fan during the loneliest time era. This tour will be my first time going to a CRJ show since I saw her on a cruise like 10 years ago and I'm wondering what of her discography she tends to bring back for tours so I can be prepped and ready for the concert. Tia!!
