Carly Rae Jepsen is having a blast touring with Justin Bieber.

The "Call Me Maybe" singer dished to E! News about her experience performing around the world with the teen pop superstar at Comedy Central's Night of Too Many Stars benefit in New York City Saturday night, saying his energy is "contagious."

"I'm currently on a worldwide tour with [Justin]," Jepsen said. "I was just in Calgary last night and we flew out here to make it in time for this event. And it's great to perform with him every night. It's fun to kind of feed off his energy and his crowd. It's kind of contagious."

Jepsen's album Kiss hit stores September 18 and features a duet with the Biebs called "Beautiful."

So, who would Jepsen like to collaborate with next?

"There's a few pop artists that I really admire," Jepsen continued. "I mean with collaborations I think you kind of have to be in the room and vibe it out and know that it's gonna work before you commit to it, but dreaming out loud I'm inspired by Robyn, La Roux, Dragonette and Kimbra, a New Zealand artist. All really amazing and band-wise…Maroon 5 I think is really cool."
