American singer Katy Perry has released two video albums and has appeared in thirty-three music videos, eight films, twelve television shows, and thirteen television commercials. After appearing in several music videos between 2004 and 2007, a video for "Ur So Gay" was released to introduce her to the music industry. In 2008, she released videos for "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot n Cold", both taken from her second album One of the Boys. Perry's third album, Teenage Dream (2010), spawned the single "California Gurls", whose music video is set in the fictional land of "Candyfornia" and features rapper Snoop Dogg. The Yoann Lemoine-directed video "Teenage Dream" depicts her as a euphoric teenager. Her "Firework" video is based on self-empowerment, and won the MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year. In 2013, Perry released her fourth studio album Prism, with "Roar" as its lead single, whose music video features her in a jungle after a plane crash. She became the first artist to have multiple videos, "Dark Horse" and "Roar", each gain one billion views. In addition to her music videos, Perry has voiced Smurfette in The Smurfs (2011) and its sequel The Smurfs 2 (2013). (Full list...)
