Katy Perry's 3D concert movie will hit theaters this Fourth of July weekend, the Los Angeles Times reports. Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D, a film featuring documentary and live footage of the pop star, will debut on July 5th in a bid to match the success of Justin Bieber's highly profitable Never Say Never 3D concert film.

You can watch a trailer for Perry's movie below. Though the clip includes shots of the pop star's colorful stage show, some emphasis is placed on her recent divorce from comedian Russell Brand, as their relationship dissolved over the course of filming the tour.

Taylor Swift: My Fourth Album Is About 'Crash-and-Burn Heartbreak'

Taylor Swift attends the annual Nashville Symphony Ball at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

Taylor Swift is famous for turning her personal romantic troubles into multi-platinum hits, and her fourth studio album will not deviate from this winning formula. "There’s just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak," she says in a new Vogue cover story. "That will turn out to be what the next album is about. The only way that I can feel better about myself — pull myself out of that awful pain of losing someone — is writing songs about it to get some sort of clarity."

The singer, who has scored hits dealing with the fallout of her relationships with stars such as John Mayer, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal, offered the magazine a list of red flags from her romantic disasters. She's wary of anyone who is in love with her without having spent much time with her ("You can't be in love with a Google search"), and she has no patience for men who feel a need to cut her down in order to "level the playing field" or dismiss her as a diva for having bodyguards.

Swift also doesn't want to date a guy who is obsessed with privacy. "People kind of care if there are two famous people dating, but no one cares that much," she says. "If you care about privacy to the point where we need to dig a tunnel under this restaurant so that we can leave? I can’t do that."
