SmileHeavy: Katy Perry's “Dark Horse” Is Officially The Second Most Watched Female Music Video, Surpassing Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off"

While Taylor Swift has continuous to dominate the Spotify, sales and chart perspectives, Katy Perry still managed to prove her undying streaming force on YouTube

The long history of rivalry between the two pop stars in YouTube's department was probably one of the biggest moments in pop culture. From Perry being the first woman to achieve the 1 billion views mark with Dark Horse to Swift following suit with Blank Space. Even the controversial releases of their diss tracks for each other; the Britney inspired music video of Bad Blood, and the meme-oriented visuals of Swish Swish.

Today, Perry still has the torch as the undisputed Queen of YouTube. The music video of her smash hit, Roar, has generated more than 3.3 billion views, and named as the most watched female music videos of all time. While Bon Appetit has recently reached 1 billion views, making it her 6th music video to do so, and becoming the first woman to achieve such feat.

Now:

With the steady views of Dark Horse, garnering more than 1 million to 2 million views a day, the diamond certified trap song has finally surpassed Shake It Off, and officially named as the 2nd most watched female music video of all time.

1. Roar - 3.33B

2. Dark Horse - 3.04B

3. Shake It Off - 3.04B

 

Congratulations, Katy Perry!

Spoiler

Electric reportedly coming on May 14th!

How does Roar have more views than Dark Horse? The Roar video is embarrassing and I only watched it once; at least the Dark Horse video has interesting visuals and has better replay value. 

It appeals to wider audiences, especially children. Just think of it as one of the Cocomelon vidoes. :embarrassed_britney_2007_red_hide_ashamed_cover:

The long history of rivalry between the two pop stars on YouTube's department was probably one of the biggest moments in pop culture. From Perry being the first woman to achieve the 1 billion views mark (with Dark Horse) to Swift following suit by hitting the 2 billion views mark (with Blank Space). Even the controversial releases of their diss tracks for each other; from the Britney inspired music of Bad Blood to the meme-able sense of Swish Swish.

Today, Perry still has the torch as the undisputed Queen of YouTube. The music video of her smash hit, Roar, has earned 3.3 billion views, and named as the most watched female music videos of all time. While Bon Appetit recently hitting the 1 billion views mark, becoming her 6th music video to do so. This makes Perry the first woman to achieve such feat.

Currently, Shake It Off has less than a million views ahead of Dark Horse, but with the steady daily views of [Dark Horse], garnering more than 1 million to 2 million views a day, soon it will be named as the 2nd most watched female music video.

 

Congratulations, Katy Perry!

I remember at the time Katy’s big T1TS in the video for Roar were heavily discussed so I’m assuming that could be a contributing factor.
