Check out these EXCLUSIVE SHOTS of Ciara on the set of her latest video, “Go Girl” featuring T-PAIN. Word is the video has a ‘Dark Knight Theme’ to it…

Peep what she wrote on her blog late last week:

I just shot the video for “Go Girl” and it was crazy! All My Go Girls, stand up! Melina directed it and of course Jamaica got busy on the choreography! I added a little two cents but Jam Session (Jamaica) laid it down on the steps. Talk about some Go Girls: Melina (director) Jamaica (choreographer) Yolanda (make-up) Kiyah (hair) all the ladies put it down. Go Girls in the house! You will see it shortly! [SOURCE]

Ciara’s third studio album, Fantasy Ride, is scheduled to be released on December 9th (but we heard it got pushed back to ’09)..
