Nolan Feeney of Time magazine compared sequences in the video to Katy Perry's "California Gurls" video, Basking in the red glow of a sunset while sporting voluminous hair in an open meadow like Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)" and Shakira "Empire", Black Swan inspired Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, a real-life Lisa Frank folder and Pokémon's Suicune.[7] As well as comparing it to Masters of Sex opening credits sequence and Britney Spears' perfume fragrance ads.[7]
