Fans keep giving Carly Rae Jepsen swords

Carly Rae Jepsen.

It started off on Tumblr, as many matters pertaining to Canadian pop star Carly Rae Jepsen do.

One of her fans thought it would be nice if she had a sword, and started a viral campaign to get her one. A few months and many memes later, she was handed one onstage at Lollapalooza ‘18 (there have actually been several — Jensen’s fans are fiercely devoted, and seem to love swords for some reason).
