why was dark horse so cheap?

I liked the video because I love Egyptian history (kinda a comedic take on it, but still) and it's a bop!

TBH it's the only video I've watched more than once by Katy. I really like it. And it's easily my favorite song of hers. 

I once made a thread about how much i love the video and keep rewhatching it multiple times a day and some user literally asked me if i was locked and imprisoned in some basement

i mesn say whatever you want but this still is more popular than most of gaga's videos

She should have done something a bit more serious and dark for this music video. I remember being disapointed that it was another light hearted goofy video from her. She had the chance to try something new and she missed it and in a way I think it did in fact lock her into the stereotype of being a goofy popstar with little else to offer.

I still haven’t heard the song to this day  I live under a rock

Tiktok challenge kinda revived it sometime ago. People were doing challenge to sing the song with vocal runs improvisation

[RAMROD 96,460]

LMAO, I don't think sophistication is Katy's route. She is known by public to be that gal with blue hair and bouncing tiddies who sings about plastic bags next to Elmo and the left shark. She was sold for kids. Those images burned into many locals head and that's the one they will remembered her by.

And Katy seems to be fine with that too, she is still doing it, instead of trying to reinvent, that whole last album is enough evidence with her dressing up in full clown makeup, thinking it was cool.

[TimisaMonster 31,073]

I mean...Katy has always had campy/childish imagery and this was still during a time people didn't mind...its when she DIDN'T change and kept going with it...it got boring really quick 

The song is also nothing complex or deep sounding...so the video kinda matches 

[sillynate 6,170]

Ahh I remember that time. If the video looked like the grammy’s performance it probably could be at like 7b views by now 

[JustTea 3,017]

Omg I hate this song so much! Both song and the video are plain terrible, I'll never understand its popularity...

[Bobina 744]

That's just her personality. Even during American idol most of the time she's trying to goof off. Guess she could never see past that, or let someone else take the creative reigns. 

[Chromatography 9,533]

i think the only reason why it’s a “missed opportunity” because it made goofy/comedic/over the top in your face humor became the norm for her. that i think caused her decline 

[Butters Stotch 4,500]

I used to love this song. Now I can't stand it. It sounds so basic. And the video was never my cup of tea... so  I get it's one of her biggest hits and everybody knows this song, but it was definitely her opportunity to do something iconic and she went for this childish video, it's very her style, though, so I wasn't surprised. No offense intended, I love Katy. If she just had gone with a darker concept, maybe something related to witches like her Grammy's performance, it could've been better, but then again it's her style to do this funny/childish videos.

SHADE Gaga is the video queen! viewed and more popular are 2 different things, the reason that vid has so many views was purely the song being addictive, not the video itself, same for pretty much all of her videos
