Paris Hilton, the queen of glitter and glam, just had a minor knee catastrophe on the set of her latest music video—because, of course, even her injuries come with a sparkle. In a now-deleted Instagram gem, Hilton was caught perched on a metal grate, sporting a knee cut so dramatic it could star in its own reality show. She asked if there was glass in her knee (as if her bling-filled world would ever let something so mundane get in the way). Spoiler: it was just a rogue sequin from her outfit trying to make its own statement.
In her typically witty fashion, Hilton captioned the video with, “I guess glitter really does run in my veins.” She’s just too fabulous for ordinary blood. Her excitement for the upcoming #BBA music video release on Friday is palpable—she’s already rolling with the punches, or rather, the cuts.
Despite the injury, Hilton remained unphased, suggesting they could cleverly angle the camera to hide her bandaged knee. A crew member chimed in, calling her a “trooper,” which in Hollywood speak means “never misses a chance to look fabulous, even when injured.”
Hilton humorously added that she’d put “blood, sweat, fire, and tears” into making the video—a nod to an accidental trailer fire on set that would make anyone’s life feel like a blockbuster. “Slaying too hard,” she quipped, proving that nothing can douse her sparkle.
In the end, her knee was wrapped up like a gift from the fashion gods, and she declared, “The show must go on,” because, obviously, nothing—not even a glitter-induced injury—can stop Paris Hilton from her dazzling destiny.
Get ready for Hilton’s upcoming album, “Infinite Icon,” dropping on September 6. The music video for her single “Bad B***h Academy” is set to prove once and for all that Paris Hilton can turn even a knee injury into an opportunity for more glam and drama. Her first single, “I’m Free,” featuring Rina Sawayama, is just the beginning.
