The music video for Katy Perry's latest single "Dark Horse" is arriving soon. To build the anticipation, the singer has previewed the clip that will feature her playing the famous Egyptian beauty Cleopatra.

According to the 30-second trailer, the finished video will tell a tale of "a magic queen in Memphis, Egypt." The short teaser also reveals that "every eclipse, kids would travel from Brooklyn to Babylon to win her heart. If she fell in love, you'd be top dawg. If she didn't, her wrath would leave you whimpering."

Later in the clip, Perry appears behind the golden doors. She sits on her throne and sports black hair, giant beaded headdress, bright-colored eyeshadow and a jewel-encrusted mouthpiece. The preview ends with the announcement that the full visuals will premiere on February 20.
