Katy Perry channels her inner Cleopatra in the Egyptian-themed colorful fantasy video for her latest song "Dark Horse," the third single off of her third studio "Prism" album, and it's quite a magical spectacle. The trap and hip-hop infused pop song, featuring Memphis rapper Juicy J, is pop star's latest single to go No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, her 9th to do so. "This No.1 is the most unexpected one I've ever had," said the singer. "'Dark Horse' has been a dark horse of a song, since August when the KatyCats voted to release it early on iTunes, before 'Prism"' even came out."
This Dr. Luke produced ballad finds Perry with her sights set on a guy, and she won't take no for an answer. It was selected as a promotional single from "Prism" after the singer asked fans to choose between this song or the dance club heavy "Walking On Air." Perry revealed at a special album release party that the song was inspired by the 1996 movie "The Craft," which is, "about warning a guy that if you're going to fall in love with me, make sure you're sure because if not, it's gonna be your last."
The upbeat track finds Perry playing seductress and putting a potential lover under her spell. She described the lyrics to MTV News as "kind of witchy and dark, as if I was a witch warning this man not to fall in love with me, and if you do know I'm going to be your last." Perry went on to describe the tune as having a "witchy, spell-y kind of black magic-y idea." Along with Juicy J, Perry performed this song at the Grammy awards. She went with a witchcraft/enchanted forest theme, staging an elaborate spectacle where she emerged from a giant crystal ball and sang to an anthropomorphic horse. Those who believe in Illuminati found lots of evidence of Perry's involvement with the group in her performance.
Set in a surreal Ancient Egyptian landscape, the Matthew Cullen-directed whimsical clip begins with the message "Memphis, Egypt...a crazy long time ago," and features the 29-year-old as her latest alter ego, Queen Katy-Patra, clad in a platinum blond bob wig with blue hieroglyph detail, spreading her wings, sitting on her throne and floating down the Nile on a dazzling boat, and haughtily looking on as different suitors try to win her over with gifts ranging from a huge diamond to an adorable puppy. But when those men don't make the cut, Perry unleashes her goddess-like blasting super powers to turn them into sand.
