"Inferno H2O", a bright blue, tainted liquid that makes patrons belch. A hamster wheel attraction then appears, with signs guiding guests to it. Near the end, while watching a 3D movie, Perry notices a homogeneity among the guests. She finds herself in a giant dance number after Skip Marley emerges from a 3D movie for his cameo. Afterward, Perry sings a panicked final chorus, trapped in the middle of a mindless dance routine. This leads to the final shot of the video, where her worried face stares into the camera. At the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, "Chained to the Rhythm" was nominated for "Best Pop", "Best Direction", and "Best Visual Effects". The video has accumulated more than 700 million views on YouTube as of February 2022. Awards and nominations Live performances and covers Perry first sang the track live at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards on February 12, 2017, where she finished by standing in front of the United States Constitution alongside Skip Marley and closed with the message "No hate". Ralsa Bruner from Time felt she made "a bold political statement" with her performance. Billboard editor Jenna Romaine also observed political elements, writing that "it was impossible not to notice its heavily symbolic nature". Perry and Marley performed the track again at the 2017 Brit Awards on February 22, alongside two giant puppet skeletons. Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Meena Jang observed that viewers believed the skeletons resembled Donald Trump and Theresa May, and called the performance "politically charged". Adam Boult of The Daily Telegraph also suspected the skeletons resembled Trump and May, though wrote that "The point of the stage dressing might not have been entirely clear – and Perry refrained from saying anything overtly political". Perry and Marley also sang it at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 5, where children surrounded her during the performance and she placed herself in a giant hamster wheel. Teen Vogue contributor Sophie Hirsh surmised it contained "a metaphor for breaking free from the hamster wheel–esque grind". Lexy Perez of The Hollywood Reporter observed that Perry "appeared to make another political statement" with the performance. Perry herself joked afterwards that it had "a giant orange hamster on the wheel of life". In February 2017, Vant delivered a punk version at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.
