Canadian singer/songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen has been busy on tour with Justin Bieber. However, that hasn’t stopped her from releasing a hot remix of her latest single “Tonight I’m Getting Over You” with rapping sensation Nicki Minaj -- even though the two have never actually met.
“I hadn’t met her [before] and I still haven’t,” Jepsen said on “On Air with Ryan Seacrest.” “It was one of those things, same with the Owl City track, like done from a distance. I was in Canada and he was in the U.S. I think. Nicki was busy with ‘Idol’ and I was in the middle of touring in Europe, so we did it from a far.”
Jepsen added
, “[Minaj is] the embodiment of all things confident and powerful, so we felt like she was perfect for this.”
The 27-year-old singer isn’t the only one who thinks the “American Idol” judge is a fun addition to “Tonight I’m Getting Over You.”
In an interview with Radio.com, Jepsen explained how she introduced the new version of the track to her family for the first time, and it seems like even her grandmother liked it.
While she was in Vancouver with what sounds like most of her family (grandparents, aunts, uncles and “loud Italian” step parents included), she received the song in her inbox and listened to it with everyone around her.
“When it was done, my brother shouts, ‘I love it!,’” she revealed. “And my grandmother was like, ‘What did she say?’ ‘I have no idea, but it was great!’ And so we had to listen like three more times before we could understand it.”
Jepsen made it big with her viral track “Call Me Maybe” in 2012, and the singer revealed that her family thinks she now has unlimited access to all kinds of celebrities.
“They know everything and they think that I know everything, which is hilarious,” she told Radio.com. “I came home for dinner and my Nona says, ‘Does Shania Twain have hair extensions?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know, but next time I go for lunch with her, I will ask.’ Which never happens, but it’s cute. They think that I know everybody who’s famous, which isn’t really the case at all.”
