During Sunday night’s AMA show, Jepsen won favourite new artist, while Bieber took home three trophies, including artist of the year.
The Toronto Argonauts and the Calgary Stampeders will battle for the CFL Championship and the 100th Grey Cup, taking place on Sunday, November 25 at Rogers Centre in Toronto; the half-time show will feature performances by Bieber, Jepsen, and other leading Canadian performers.
