Last Friday Night

Hard to believe, but Katy Perry’s video for “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)” has yet to premiere, despite what seems like an infinite slew of questionably messaged teasers, also know an annoying bombardment of promotions featuring Perry’s alter ego Kathy Beth Terry. We previously saw the singer take a turn at comedy when describing her epic Friday night, feeling instructed to find humor in her massive headgear and awkward mannerisms. A little harsh, no? But maybe we shouldn’t feel too bad for her; Kathy’s got a fella! (And thus, a potentially rising social stock.) Meet Everett McDonald, the wired-rimmed, brace face who’s totally smitten with our sorta heroine. Will this newest couple shake up the cafeteria seating? Probably not. It all seems like unrequited love for now as Kathy “likes guys with muscles.” Ugh, that always happens, doesn’t it? (She’ll come crawling back in 10 years, Ev.) Regardless, we commend young Everett for being so forward with his feelings.

For those with strong vision who can make out the above avatar clearly, hey look! It’s Artie fromGlee. Kevin McHale fills in the role of Terry’s suitor, who physically isn’t much of a stretch from his McKinley High character—snap on some braces, throw tape around your glasses and voila! Insta-nerd cred. Watch him describe his love for Kathy, and his reluctant attempts at working on his fitness (i.e. playing lots of Atari). In his defense, those thumb muscles deserve a workout, too.
Deep breathes, folks. Only three more days until the video actually premieres and this will all be over. (We hope.)
