00:00I should be f***ing angry.
00:01You're allowed to be angry.
00:02I'm allowed to be angry for a f***ing moment!
00:05Yeah, for one song, goddammit.
00:07Katy Perry is giving herself permission to be angry.
00:10In her new single, Watch It Burn, she's embracing her dark side
00:13with not-so-subtle jabs at her ex, Orlando Bloom.
00:17And we've got all the easter eggs from the music video right here.
00:20Katy plays a half-woman, half-scorpion,
00:22who goes on a rampage with her terrifying tail.
00:31Fans on social media quickly zeroed in on the newsstand that goes up in flames,
00:36with fake magazine titles such as Alpha, Gaslight, and Slop Times.
00:41It's not the first time she's criticized AI Slop,
00:44who could forget her six-fingered glove and faceless robot mask at this year's Met Gala.
00:49But back to Watch It Burn.
00:51The magazines also had cheeky headlines like
00:53Five Ways to Weaponize Your Incompetence,
00:56She Just Wasn't Listening, and What to Say to Drive Your Partner Crazy.
01:00Over on X, her fan base, the Katy Cats,
01:03pointed out that the male models look a lot like Orlando Bloom,
01:06and claimed one is eerily similar to his 2007 Details magazine cover.
01:10Now that's a deep cut.
01:11Going further, one of the model's names is written as Jensen Turner.
01:15Orlando's Pirates of the Caribbean character, Will Turner.
01:19In another explosive moment, a store window has a sign that says,
01:22Read Between the Head Lies.
01:24And TVs that say breaking news, experts say,
01:27Don't believe everything you hear.
01:31The lyrics also appear to reference the English actor.
01:35For years you fed me only crumbs.
01:37You paid me only dust.
01:39Said I was too hard to love.
01:41The themes are similar to Katy's last single,
01:43Band-Aids, in which she sings,
01:45You were there, but you weren't.
01:47Painting a picture of a checked-out romantic partner.
01:49Quote,
01:50It's not that complicated to ask me how my day is.
01:53I'm flatlining, trying to save this.
01:56Katy and Orlando were together for nine years and share a daughter, Daisy Bloom.
02:00The celebrity mom has since moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
02:05But that doesn't mean the California girl is happy all the time.
02:08In fact, on the Unfamous podcast in May, she got visibly choked up talking about her fiery new song.
02:27Katie went on to say that throughout her whole life, she's not given herself permission to be angry about things
02:33she has every right to be angry about.
02:35And instead, she's pushed it down and has taken the high road.
02:38Until apparently, this song.
02:40So, will this be Katy Perry's comeback?
02:43Or will her so-called flop era continue?
