    This is one of my favorite music videos.

    There are a ton of references, just some of them here: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-39042467

    Even more:

    • The rose thorn that Perry pricks herself on is in the shape of barbed wire, implying this place is not as free as it seems.

    • The roller coaster seats all have blue and pink hearts side by side, and are occupied by boys and girls respectively. Is there no room for any other combinations?

    • The theme park’s mascot of a googly eyed hamster is an allegory to the hamster wheel that spits people out at the end of the video
