Despite giving over half the tracklist of ‘Smile’ (her ill-fated fifth studio album) the video treatment, Katy Perry‘s highest Hot 100 rung reached in 2020 was #40 – a feat earned by the project’s official lead single, ‘Daisies.’

Hoping to turn the tide of the LP’s success narrative in 2021, the GRAMMY nominee ended last year with the premiere of a music video for fan favorite ‘Not the End of the World.’  Starring her celebrity lookalike Zooey Deschanel, the clip served as a hilarious jab at critics who claim to have a hard time differentiating between the two entertainers.
