Introduction
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, known professionally as Katy Perry rose to fame in2008 with the release of the single I Kissed a Girl and then successfully arousedpeople’s attention. With more singles released all over the world, Perry has becomeone of the most popular singers. Throughout her career, Perry has sold 100 millionrecords globally, and is one of the best-selling
Musical artists of all time. Her thirdalbum Teenage Dream became the first by a female artist to produce fivenumber-one Billboard Hot 100 singles in the U.S, and the second overall afterMichael Jackson’s album Bad. Her fourth album, Prism, released in 2013 made herthe first artist with multiple videos to reach one billion views on Vevo with thevideos for its songs Roar and Dark Horse. Her songs Firework, E.T, Hot N Cold,Roar and Dark Horse have each been sold over 5 million digital copies, and thevideos of these songs will be analyzed in this paper in detail. In the meantime, Perrywon great popularity on social media and she surpassed Justin Bieber as the mostfollowed person on Twitter in November 2013.Considering the great popularity of Katy Perry and her controversialperformances in her music videos, many works have been done to analyze thesevideos.Foreign researches about Katy Perry’ s music video can be divided into twocategories: the criticism of sexuality and the racism.

That is, music videos are commercial sine they serve asboosting sales. John Fiske describes music videos as serving two contradictoryaspects now that they “offending realism, rock videos offend capitalism; in boostingrecord sales they maintain it” (10). In other words, music videos are kind of complexcommodities which on one hand are
