Last month, Carly Rae Jepsen released her breathy cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas.” (Hear it below.)

Now the “I Really Like You” singer has announced a tour for early 2016 that includes a Valentine’s Day show at the Variety Playhouse.

Tickets are $28 and on sale at 2 p.m. Dec. 11 via all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com and by calling 1-800-745-3000.

In August, Jepsen, best known for her breakthrough smash, “Call Me Maybe,” released her third studio album, “Emotion.”
