  June 19, 2012 – On the outside, Katy Perry's official not-a-lyric-video video for her first post-divorce single "Wide Awake" is as cotton candy fairy princess as her two recent award show performances of the song, but as the four-minute clip progresses, it's clear that this time, themes are going to run a little deeper (though just as autobiographical) than in her usual goodie-goodie, bubblegum-fueled teenage dream. …
