The Canadian pop singer has cultivated an interesting pop career, becoming a household name with her viral 2012 hit Call Me Maybe. In the years following, she shook her one-hit-wonder status with cultural, albeit not commercial success. Her devoted fans know her as a pop genius, in part from her 2015 album Emotion. It's the album that made me a Carly fan.
She was here in support of her latest album Dedicated, her first full-length release in four years. It was her first ever show in New Zealand.
