Egyptian-Themed Music Videos

Katy Perry Builds Pyramids with Her 'Dark Horse' Music Video

Katy Perry's Dark Horse music video transforms the pop star into Cleopatra or what she may be known as from now on, "Katy-Patra." The music video has everything from people dressed up as cats, empires, snakes, gondolas and so much more.

Perry looks flawless in her recreation of the Egyptian goddess. The song is infections and Katy-Patra is Queen. The artsy video for the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single arrived earlier today and is soon to hit millions of views. Perry has been giving us sneak peeks into the music video with a teaser leading up to the unveil.

The songstress makes a lot of outfit changes throughout the video and noted is the pyramid of Twinkies, a bowl of Hot Cheetos, a puppy and featured rapper Juicy J. If that is not a formula for a wonderful and entertaining music video, I don't know what is.
