At the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, Jepsen was the first Canadian recipient of the Rising Star Award
Jepsen’s 2012 Rising Star honor was not given at the Billboard Music Awards. It was a Billboard Women in Music award presented at the Women in Music event later that year.
Full reasoning
This mixes up two different Billboard events.
Carly Rae Jepsen’s Rising Star honor was announced by Billboard in October 2012 and, according to contemporaneous coverage, she and Katy Perry were to be honored at Billboard’s Women in Music event in New York on November 30, 2012 — not at the Billboard Music Awards. Separately, coverage of the 2012 Billboard Music Awards (held in May 2012) lists the awards actually presented there and describes Jepsen only as a performer; it does not place a Rising Star award for her at that ceremony.
So the problem is not that Jepsen received the Rising Star honor — she did — but that this article assigns it to the wrong event.

Full reasoning
Contemporaneous music press covered the release of Carly Rae Jepsen and Rufus Wainwright’s duet "The Loneliest Time" on October 7, 2022. Pitchfork’s article is dated October 7, 2022 and reports that the song "is a collaboration with Rufus Wainwright and the latest single" from the album. Stereogum likewise published its post at 12:03 AM EDT on October 7, 2022, saying the title track had just arrived.
That means the article’s stated release date of October 8, 2022 is off by one day.
