Carly Rae Jepsen, Canadian architect of all things good in modern pop, isn’t letting the album die without a fight though, which continues today with the meme queen’s new “Boy Problems” video. Featuring an all-too-brief vocal assist from Sia — who cowrote the song with Jepsen and Greg Kurstin, the track’s producer — the video itself is directed by Petra Collins and features a cameo by Tavi Gevinson as well as the best spangled streamers and sparkly tiaras money can buy.
