This story is about growing up with Pikachu...
Katy Perry’s latest video features an electric rat, with the singer saying she did it to mark Pokémon’s 25th anniversary.
The pop star released her new video for the single “Electric,” which is a surprisingly charming coming-of-age story about growing up with Pikachu as a best friend.
It features a young Perry and her Pichu, the electric rat, struggling early on in her career, while the current version of the star and Pikachu watch on, A Christmas Carol-style.
Pokémon’s 25th anniversary is about the celebrating of more than two decades of pocket monsters who have thrilled millions over the years.
Perry must be seeing this all part of Pokémon’s music-focused 25th-anniversary celebration. But she's not the only one who had made the attempt.
Post Malone released a baffling cover of Hootie and the Blowfish’s 1992 hit “Only Wanna Be With You,” previously.
Hence, Katy Perry joins the group of musicians who believe that this is all part of a burgeoning convergence between music and gaming, which accelerated after live events were largely put on hold due to the pandemic.
