The music video has over 1.0 billion views on YouTube as of May 2018 . </P> <P> The video begins with Jepsen spying on her attractive tattooed neighbour (Holden Nowell) as he is working on his lawn . As he takes his shirt off and notices she is staring at him, Jepsen slips on her high heels and falls below her window . She is reading the books Love at First Sight (Men In Uniform) by B.J. Daniels and Skylar's Outlaw by Linda Warren . The scene then cuts to her garage, where she is rehearsing the track with her band . Following the rehearsals, her bandmates push her to go and wash her car, where she tries to gain her neighbour's attention with various provocative poses only to fall from the hood of the car . She is briefly knocked out from the fall, during which she dreams of a romance novel - type encounter with her crush against the backdrop of Peggys Cove . As she comes to, the neighbour then helps her get up, and watches the band rehearse the track again . After turning and writing down her telephone number, Jepsen sees her neighbour pass one of her male bandmates (Tavish Crowe) his own number, indicating he doesn't like women at all and is gay, where the very end shows that Jepsen is taken aback by this . The video received three nominations on the 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards in the categories of UR Fave Video, Pop Video of the Year, and Video of the Year . </P> <P> On March 26, 2012, Jepsen visited WBBM - FM's Morning Show and performed two tracks of her EP, "Call Me Maybe" and "Curiosity". Days later, the singer made her US television debut during The Ellen DeGeneres Show performing "Call Me Maybe". Emily Exton of Pop Dust summarized the performance, writing, "delivering fairly true - to - radio vocals that seemed to overcome any lingering nerves performing for millions of viewers (and your sorta boss?) might bring on, Carly left the security of the mike stand to move beneath the oversized dandelion lights during the final moments of her euphoric head - bobber ." She also performed an acoustic version of the song on Kidd Kraddick in the Morning and KISS 92.5 . On May 2, 2012, on a visit to Australia, she performed "Call Me Maybe" on the TV show Sunrise .
