Did Katy Perry steal the idea for her "Rise" music video? Kevin Jonas' father believes the music video for Katy's 2016 Rio Olympics anthem is similar to the music video of Olivia Somerlyn's "Parachute".

Kevin Jonas Sr. a.k.a. Papa Jonas, who is Olivia's manager, posts on Twitter a side-by side comparison of the two music videos. "Love @katyperry new song but the video for #Rise is identical to @oliviasomerlyn #Parachute," he captions it.

In the stills taken from both Katy's "Rise" and Olivia's "Parachute", the two singers are seen with pink parachutes. In some scenes, Olivia is seen dragging the parachute behind just like Katy does in her music video.
