Facing even the most extreme adversity, Katy Perry can rise. That's definitely the case in the superstar's new music video for the Olympics anthem, which features Perry having the most difficult time in getting a parachute to take her above the desert. 

After getting caught in her parachute strings and nearly drowning, she continues to fight. And, eventually, she does succeed — but not without some mental and physical wear and tear. 

Watch the Paul Gore-directed video, set in Utah's scenic Snow Canyon and Sand Hollow State Parks, below. Hopefully the US Olympics team won't have nearly as much difficulty at the Rio Olympics.
