WATCH: Katy Perry gets her head chopped off in new music video

Cape Town – Katy Perry released a brand new music video on Wednesday.

The video is for the song Hey Hey Hey and sees Katy channelling Marie Antoinette and Joan of Arc.

Dressed in a giant wig Katy goes through royal life dreaming about being her own Joan of Arc and slaying everyone she hates in her life. She also gets her head chopped off.

Katy announced the release on Instagram with a lengthy post saying, "after a year of peaks and valleys (remember, it's all a journey), I wanted to end 2017 with a fun, triumphant piece of pop candy. Just think of it as a glam little stocking stuffer from me to you."

Hiya. I'm writing you from Miami, prepping my last Witness: The Tour show of 2017. I'm reflecting on a year that has redefined what winning means to me. And the definition of winning for me this year was simply happiness and gratitude. This year has made me more appreciative than ever for my listeners, my KatyCats - whether you've been with me since "I Kissed A Girl" or if you only started to "Swish Swish" with me. I'm humbled that you still give me your nights out to connect with you live all over the world and remind me of the place in your hearts that you hold for all these songs. After a year of peaks and valleys (remember, it's all a journey), I wanted to end 2017 with a fun, triumphant piece of pop candy. Just think of it as a glam little stocking stuffer from me to you. "Hey Hey Hey" is one of my favorite songs from "Witness" and for me, it embodies the fighting spirit I always want you to be able to find within yourself, and to see in me. So ho, ho, ho; and hey, hey, hey; and happy holidays. Yours, Katy P.S. Link in profile.
