Not everything needs to be serious. Katy Perry's BRAND is comical, tongue and cheek and quirky. I would rather this than her try to make a dark, meaningful video and fall short. It would be MORE inauthentic than many claim this video to be.
It's kinda...boring? I was hoping for something better. She delivered with good videos so I thought it would be the case here as well but it's still cute enough.
Katy really brought and delivered it with this video, It's so interesting and captivating. The visuals are very enticing and intriguing and the imagery is superb and excellent. She did very good executing the message and meaning of the song and bringing it to life.
