We’ve seen movies about runaway brides, but Katy Perry shows what it’s like to have a runway groom in the music video for her latest single, “Hot N Cold."

The music video starts like a movie, with Katy Perry exchanging vows with her husband-to-be at a church. Things don’t turn out the way she wanted, and the ‘hot n cold’ guy gets cold feet and runs away, abandoning her at the altar as she breaks into song.

Katy Perry then chases the fleeing groom across town to make him pay for ditching her. However, as [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/austin-butler) movies often end up, it turns out that the whole sequence was just playing in the guy’s head. In reality, he actually does say yes and they're shown running down the isle, illustrating that they do get a happy ending.
