The music video for Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” has finally arrived. Premiering earlier today, the long awaited clip for the pop star’s second heat seeking single isn’t a let down. Directed by Yoann Lemoine and shot in Santa Barbara, the video screams West Coast. And even though the name might not suggest it, I’d argue that this one’s more California than her previous single “California Gurls.”
The beautifully shot video highlights the vintage glam, carefree feeling of the California surf coast lifestyle. It starts with the epic California sunshine, beaming down on the two lovers as the cruise toward the coast in a classic convertible. From there, it’s a pedal to the metal party with a group of friends, taking place everywhere from the beach, to the hotel (gulp!), to the dance floor, to the pool.
As you’d probably expect, Katy and co-star Josh Kloss get hot and heavy on more than a few occasions. The romance is a big part of the “Teenage Dream”; but it’s also about the sun, friends, parties, and carefree fun that we all inevitably imagine ourselves in. Whether you’re 13 or 30, Teenage Dream lets you, for a few minutes at least, feel those summer days where life exists in the moment, without a worry or care. It’s that feeling that will make this song the go to track for the rest of the fleeting summer, and maybe even once the sunshine disappears into the fall. Because, of course, even when all the fun in the sun is gone, we can still dream about it, can’t we?
