Have you watched Katy Perry’s brand-new video for “This Is How We Do” yet? The eye-popping Joel Kefali-directed clip sees Katy relaxing poolside, modeling Mondrian, and nomming on watermelon — and I’m getting major pop-music déjà vu every step of the way.
Although the 29-year-old singer was accused of style-jacking other pop stars like Brooke Candy and Lady Gaga while promoting the video for the Prism single this week, I’m not entirely convinced that’s the case. I mean, do you honestly think that Katy Perry or Brooke Candy “invented” baby hair and thick braids?

Besides, for all we know Katy’s pulling a Lily Allen and trying to be all #meta with her oeuvre. Or maybe it’s all just a big coincidence. Her ARTPOP could mean anything, after all. Wait, wrong person.
The point is, Katy’s “This Is How We Do” video is full of pop references — whether she meant it to be or not. From Gaga and Miley to Beyoncé and Iggy, here’s what I found. Did I miss something crucial? Let me know in the comments.
