On Aug. 24 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, I ran away with Carly Rae Jepsen.

There's no place better to see Carly Rae Jepsen than a sold-out small venue on the edge of West Hollywood.

You see Beyoncé in a stadium because she prepares you for world domination. You see Taylor Swift at the Staples Center because she's putting on a variety show with a revolving roster of guests. But Carly Rae Jepsen, she has an intimate story to tell you.
