The many, many titles awarded to this artist are a part of an inside joke Jepsen is fully aware of. During one interview with NME, the artist shared her thoughts on being associated with royalty, saying that, if anything, she doesn’t shy away from the recognition.
“Surely Beyoncé was the first to be called [the] queen of everything? The worst part is, like, my friends have started doing it,” Jepsen said. “I’ll send them a picture of me having Thanksgiving dinner, and they reply ‘queen of Thanksgiving.’ And I’m like, ‘Guys, come on!’ But no, really, it’s all good fun.”
