Katy Perry's 'Lifetimes' Video Faces Scrutiny Over Filming in Protected Area

Spanish authorities investigate production company for alleged unauthorized filming in ecologically sensitive dunes on the Balearic Islands.

  • The video for 'Lifetimes' was filmed on the islands of Ibiza and Formentera, including the protected S'Espalmador dunes.
  • Spanish officials state that the production company did not secure the necessary permits for filming in the protected area.
  • The investigation is not treating the incident as a crime against the environment, but as a potential administrative violation.
  • Katy Perry's team claims they had verbal authorization to proceed with the filming despite one permit still being processed.
  • This controversy follows the mixed reception of Perry's recent single 'Woman's World' and her collaboration with producer Dr. Luke.
