The music video opens with a shot of a castle and one of its French-inspired hallways.[eighteen] Lying in her bed, Perry is awakened by the sound of a horn blown by three women,[20] and is given a dark-brown drink ("Napoleon's Coffee")[19] and her smartphone, where she communicates in-video with Prince Piggy (played past Tad Brown[14]) regarding their date. The three women are seen cleaning Perry's underwear, lacing her corset and walking with books on their heads, among other activities. Perry, seemingly overwhelmed, falls down and sees a book titled "JOAN!", with its cover displaying a female warrior.
