Joseph Kahn’s Sexy Vision
Five of the director’s hottest music videos

Joseph Kahn, a renowned director of stunning and sexy music videos, has worked with dozens of chart-topping pop, rock and hip-hop stars to create 178 music videos during his award-winning career. His knack for turning spectacular vision into reality has made his work some of the most-viewed and most recognizable videos online.
Here are five of Kahn’s sexiest music videos to tune in and turn on to:
Katy Perry’s “Waking Up in Vegas”
No one is more over-the-top than Katy Perry (remember the whipped cream cans?), and Kahn’s creative vision meshes perfectly with her signature style. The “Waking Up In Vegas Video” is a mix of wild party scenes and intermittent make-out sessions that definitely made all 86 million viewers want to book a flight to Sin City as soon as possible.
Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams”
Kahn is a frequent collaborator with Swift and won a Grammy for the pop star’s “Bad Blood” video in 2015. In the “Wildest Dreams” video, Swift is a classics-era movie star having a fiery affair with a costar. Set on the African savannah, sweeping landscape shots serve as an stunning backgrounds for passionate embraces and sultry closeups of Swift.
Lady Gaga’s “LoveGame”
Remember when Lady Gaga’s music videos were all anyone could talk about in the early 2000’s? A groundbreaking musician needs groundbreaking visuals, and Kahn delivers with “LoveGame.” Usually surrounded by men and occasionally naked, Gaga sparkles and dances her way through a subway station and parking garage, making the normally dingey places appear much hotter.
Maroon 5’s “Misery”
Kahn created a hot-and-bothered video for this single from Maroon 5’s Hands All Over. Smoke show Adam Levine, dressed like a greaser, alternately makes out with and gets beaten up by his female co-star. Things get hotter (and a bit more violent) throughout, and the longing lyrics of the song pair playfully with aggressive moments in the video for a sexy manifestation of a love-hate relationship.
Britney Spears’ “Womanizer”
A pioneer of the sexy music video, Spears strips down for much of Kahn’s video for her 2009 hit. If she’s not lying naked in a sauna singing to the camera, she’s disguised as a flirty office employee, bartender or cab driver who seduces her man before kicking him to the curb. What’s better than sexy? Sexy and independent.
