That Carly Rae Jepsen was arguably the star of the Juno festivities in Canada this weekend, she picking up gongs in three of the five categories in which she was nominated in the Canadian equivalent of the BRITs. In two of those categories she beat a certain Justin Bieber, who had a role in launching Jepsen on an unsuspecting world, of course.

Asked about that fact backstage, she told CBC News: “I think in general it’s a shared success and I’m sure he’ll send some love. The fact that he has really been my main supporter, and he signed me, and because of that I was able to make the record ‘Kiss’ and be exposed to the world beyond Canada, means I have nothing to say to him other than ‘thank you’, and I know he’s been rooting for me just as much as his own stuff”.

Bieber did take the fan-voted Fan Choice Award though, thanks to the votes of his ever faithful Beliebers, who presumably hoped that if they phoned in their support they might feature next time their idol posts a cartoon of himself bedding a fan to Instagram. And now, this year’s winners in full, who were all presented with their awards at one of two Juno shows this weekend…
