Carly Rae Jepsen had a unique evening in store for her fans at NYC’s The Rooftop at Pier 17, although not quite as planned. Amidst the excitement, a sudden thunderstorm forced the cancellation of the outdoor concert, with concerns for safety due to the weather conditions.

Despite kicking off her set with just a few songs, the show was abruptly cut short, leaving Jepsen and her audience disappointed. A fan-captured video showcases Jepsen bravely facing strong winds and microphone issues, while communicating the unfortunate necessity of evacuating the roof due to the storm. Remarkably, she managed to retain her spirit, even accepting a toy sword as a gift from a devoted fan amidst the chaos.
True to her dedication to her fans, Carly Rae Jepsen was quick to take action and make amends. She promptly announced on social media that she would be hosting an intimate performance for 150 ticketholders at Rockwood Music Hall, ensuring that her audience would not be left without a musical experience to cherish.

In addition to her spontaneous indoor show, Jepsen extended her efforts to accommodate those who missed out on the impromptu performance. She committed to returning to Pier 17 for an afternoon matinee show, offering a second chance for fans to enjoy her music. Thankfully, the weather today proved more favorable, providing an opportunity for a seamless concert experience.
Jepsen’s latest album, The Loveliest Time, has garnered significant attention as a vibrant counterpart to her 2022 record, The Loneliest Time. This upcoming weekend, she’s slated to grace Los Angeles with her presence for a series of shows in support of her new album, an exciting prospect that is hopefully met with more cooperative weather.
