Carly Rae Jepsen Announces New Album 'Dedicated' & Tour: Details

Carly Rae Jepsen is hitting the road this summer to support her new album.

It's not a joke: the pop star announced via Twitter on April Fools' Day (April 1) that her long-awaited record, Dedicated, will officially drop on May 17. The LP, Jepsen's first since her highly-praised EMOTION released in 2015, will also be supported with "The Dedicated Tour," set to launch this summer.

The "Call Me Maybe" singer paired the statement with the cover art for her upcoming third full-length work, which shows Jepsen sitting in the foreground of a grayish-white setting. The musician has been priming fans with new music since November with previously released bops "Party For One," "Now That I Found You," and "No Drug Like Me."

Jepsen's "Dedicated Tour" kicks off on album release day overseas, with North American stops to follow in cities including Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, and Atlanta. (Get early ticket access on Ticketmaster when you pre-order the album here.)
