Katy Perry has found an era that suits her perfectly — Victorian.
The pop star went retro-chic in a visually stunning music video for power ballad "Unconditionally," the second single from her "Prism" album. There are gowns, snow, pearls, flower petals, an owl, underwater scenes and a bed on fire — so nothing really out of the ordinary for Perry.
Yes, unconditional love sometimes feels like being hit by a car... Or being on fire... How does it feel to you?

The singer recently told MTV that this music video would be a departure from her other videos because it "doesn't have a complete narrative."
"I usually have quite a big story line," she said. "This time I wanted to give a lot of gorgeous, beautiful looks, which I don't usually go for. But it's mostly just a beautiful video that is supposed to evoke this power of love."
Mission accomplished, Katy.

Perry also released a lyric video for the song in October, featuring models Janell Shirtcliff and Erika Linder.
