Claude says:Katy Perry's early-2010s candy-coated pop—all stadium anthems and synth-bright hooks—lands in your rotation as occasional bright spots, with Teenage Dream's maximalist era doing most of the heavy lifting. She's not a cornerstone, but when you're in the mood for unironic euphoria and those songs engineered to lodge in your skull, Firework and California Gurls still deliver.
