Carly Rae Jepsen has a brand new song… and we first heard it on “American Idol”!

The “Call Me Maybe” singer, who you remember kicked off her music career after ranking third on “Canadian Idol” almost 6 years ago, performed a song that viewers had a hand in making for the Coca Cola Perfect Harmony contest—from the lyrics to the pop star’s backup dancers’ costumes—during the show’s part one finale episode on Wednesday.

Entertainment news has learned that CARLY RAE JEPSEN has dyed her hair red.

Like Carrie Underwood, Carly Rae Jepsen chose to walk the 2013 Grammy Awards red carpet in an edgy black strapless gown with a mermaid skirt by Roberto Cavalli, which effectively made her appear less like her usual younger-looking self and more like the 26-year-old pop singer-songwriter that she is.

In an attempt to counterbalance her younger appearance, the “Call Me Maybe” songstress went with a grown-up look at the pre-Grammy event, which consisted of a sleeveless Thomas Wylde leather dress with gold studs along the neckline, on the shoulders, and on the hem of the calf-length pencil skirt, plain black pumps, a black Kotur clutch, and a gold cuff and hoop earrings by State Room Jewelry.
