She's been cultivating a tougher image with songs like Roar.
But now Katy Perry has taken it a step further by transforming into a man-eating evil queen in her latest video Dark Horse.
The 29-year-old kills at least two men with magical powers while also taking time to straddle a stripper pole in the gorgeously shot clip.
Going evil: Katy Perry is an Egyptian queen in her new Dark Horse music video
That must have taken some time: Katy transforms into a stunner from another era in her multiple costumes for the highly anticipated music video
The video opens with the message: 'Memphis Egypt a crazy long time ago'.
We then see Katy reclining on a boat in the Nile river as male slaves dance around her.
We soon cut to a man wearing an eye patch as he brandishes a giant diamond offering it to Perry in her exotic court in the desert.
Going low: The 29-year-old shows off her impressive pole dancing skills
Like a stripper on a pole: The starlet tried out a new form of exercise in an all-gold ensemble
That's elaborate: The singer's makeup artists appeared to cut no corners with the stunning job
Elaborate set design: The colourful clip sees a complex revisioning of ancient Egypt
Choreographed evil: The singer holds a despotic hold over her subjects
After examining the precious gem, the Fireworks singer licks her lips as she burns the man into a pile of dust with the aid of her laser eyed throne.
She takes the fallen jewels from the man's burned remnants and puts them in her mouth for a grill.
She then can be seen dancing on a stripper pole as she is attended by rapper Juicy J.
For jewels: Katy slays a man for gemstones
Death by magic: The star electrocutes a man via dark arts
All coiled up: The Roar singer went nearly nude as she cuddles up to some statues with the aid of a massive snake
Scary? It was unclear whether the singer was frightened or overjoyed during some sequences
New friends? Katy entwined herself between a bunch of golden snakes
But that's not all, as she is also seen nearly nude in silver body paint as a snake writhes around her body.
Then after a pepper burns her mouth Katy electrocutes a fat man with lightning from her hands.
The song sees her tackle some of her most confident lyrics yet, as she croons: 'Make me your Aphrodite / Make me your one and only / But don’t make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy'.
Adding: 'So you wanna play with magic / Boy, you should know what you're falling for / Baby do you dare to do this? Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse'.
Fitting lyrics for a video featuring her commit homicide via magic.
On the Nile: The video uses elaborate digital effects to create the vivid magical world
Offering for the queen: Katy accepts a massive diamond from one of her subjects
That'll take a while to take off: Her face was covered in gold and blue butterfly-esque shapes
I see you: Katy peered through an overwhelmingly scary blue eye on a stick
Fly away: The star spread her wings atop a skyscraper pyramid
Hungry? The songstress was fed delicious goods by people with big rabbit helmets
Hello friend: Juicy J joined her by the pole for a moment so the two could get to know each other
Other worldly: If Katy was in fact a queen, it's probable that her empire would be a colourful one
Out and about: John Mayer was spotted out in New York on Thursday
