Candy-filled, first-love-inspired, and perhaps one of the most quintessential pop albums of the 21st century, Teenage Dream is Katy Perry’s third studio album. Spawning multiple hit-singles, several re-releases, a video game, and ending up on several best of lists, is perhaps Perry’s biggest success to date that truly cemented her status as a pop princess in the early 2010s. Incredibly successful, Teenage Dream spawned some of Perry’s most memorable songs to date, including the titular track, “E.T”, “Firework”, and “Last Friday Night (TGIF)”. It became the second album ever (and the first by a woman) to have five singles hit number one in the Billboard Hot 100, and was chosen by VH1 as the most important pop album released in the last ten years in 2015. Teenage Dream is as much as a homage to its titular subject as it is to California (or “Candyfornia” as used in many promotional materials related to the album), with Rolling Stone noting at the time of its release that Perry “chases an all-American teen-pop sound that’s older than the Hollywood Hills.” Hyping up on the idea of sweets, the album’s promotional materials largely focused around candy. A limited number of physical copies of Teenage Dream were doused in a cotton candy scent, and the music video for the album’s lead single, “California Gurls” featured Perry in a Candyland like scenario. In a tie-in with the Sims franchise, the candy-aesthetic Perry developed for this album was also featured in the Sims 3 expansion pack Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats.
