Hi guys,my name is Carly Rae Jepson and I am here to answer your questions for Good Morning America's ask me anything

so we'll see what we got in this little fun hat?

Q:

Okay do you think Call Me Maybe would be such a big song

(um)did you think it would be such a big song and what did you think the hit represents now

A:

I had no idea that comedy movie was going to take off the way it did?

?

I mean,who could predict that it would be pretty psycho if I was like "this song"??

No,but we were all surprised the writers and myself and very?

I think to this day,I feel about it very fortunate that something connected in that way?

and I think right now,at least in my set,it represents a sort of like, nostalgic,happy memory that we get to celebrate together

[Applause]

Q:

who is your dream collaborator?

I mean,it's scared to say it out loud because he's just like the artist

of all artists who I dedicated The Loveliest Time to actually but,James Taylor?

I would just like to sing um You Can Close Your Eyes with him one day, that's on my dream list?

next question?

Q:

Tell us the backstory of how fans started giving you swords and do you keep them

A:

I um I don't really know how this trend began,I think someone started

someone,Once Upon a time，said that I deserved a sword

and whoever that person is,thank you so much,because I have received more swords than anyone would ever need

?

I could make a Game of Thrones chair -inflatable Swords,not the dangerous kind,just the joyful ones

Q:

You're embraced as an icon in the lgbtq+Community,what does that mean to you?

it means everything,pretty much

I don't know how to like properly even explain the joy and the feeling of the rooms that I get to be in it is unlike anything else

Q:

Talk about your journey from "The Loneliest Time" to "The Loveliest Time" you shared you couldn't have done one without the other

this is true,they are kind of like sister projects or like a package set

when I look at The Loneliest Time and the space I was in when creating all of the songs for these for these um sister projects I was definitely,was lonely

it was a true story and I think we all were always like mid covid kind of mid pandemic and kind of living alone and?

really like reassessing things

and um I got into this like really reflective place where I was sort of fascinated about the concept of like what loneliness causes in humans

and for myself,I would find myself having these extreme reactions?

it was sort of exciting and so when I got it,got kind of hooked into that concept I wanted to make a whole project about this

but there's the other half of loneliness of like what comes afterwards

when you're brave or when you do something you wouldn't expect

because you were in a low spot?

and I um I think The Loveliest Time is sort of like the celebration?

after the world's reopened up and kind of all the lessons that you've learned in that,in that tough guy at least for me that's what it's about

thank you so much that was very fun,I enjoyed answering your questions and we will see you guys next time

thank you
