“Hello loves, I found out in real time just like you did too, and I’m so sorry,” Jepsen, 37, told the crowd amid a rainstorm after performing about four songs, according tofan-filmed videos. “But we’re gonna make it up to you — I promise.”
“Apparently it’s a safety issue, so we want to keep you off the roof. No one’s getting electrocuted tonight! But we’ll make up for it,” continued the “Run Away with Me” performer.

Once fans left the venue, Jepsen took tosocial mediaand announced a last-minute show at Rockwood Music Hall. “Lightning made us quit early today but I am not in the quitting mood,” she posted alongside set times for the show.
However, the new venue only held around 150 people — a fraction of The Rooftop at Pier 17’s capacity — and many more fans showed up to the impromptu set. So, Jepsen allowed audience members into the venue in small groups, cycling them out and performing six songs for each crowd.
Additionally, hours before her planned second show at The Rooftop at Pier 17 on Tuesday night, she held a matinee concert in the afternoon for fans who attended the performance that was cut short.
“Before the lightning hit, I had one of those feelings that the evening was destined to be magical,” Jepsen wrote onInstagramon Tuesday. “Four songs in, I was certain I was right and even when some light rain started I believed nothing could stop us. When the announcement came over the the rooftop that the pier was closed due to [lightning], I felt a wave of shock and indignation that we had all been cheated a proper cathartic New York night together.”
The star continued, “Thank you for rallying and being down to get down with an impromptu show or three!”
