Katy Perry’s Controversial Music Video Sparks Environmental Outrage After Filming in Sacred Spanish Sanctuary!
Katy Perry is facing a rather sticky situation in Spain that could make even the most seasoned celebrity cringe. It seems our pop princess took a whimsical jaunt to the ecologically sensitive sand dunes of S’Espalmador to film her latest music video for “Lifetimes.” But, oh boy—turns out she didn’t quite get the memo about needing government approval to do so! You’d think a superstar like her would know that trespassing in areas that are protected for their ecological riches could lead to a bit of a scandal. The Balearic Islands’ government has launched an investigation into this peculiar oversight. After all, who could resist the picturesque beaches of Formentera and the bustling clubs of Ibiza? Not Perry, that’s for sure. But when you’re operating in Mother Nature’s backyard, a little respect goes a long way—unless, of course, you’re Katy Perry, just trying to bask in the sun without a care in the world! So, is this just another day in celebrity life, or could it spell trouble for a songstress known for her colorful antics? Let’s break down the details of this unfolding drama!
Katy Perry is being investigated in Spain after she filmed a music video in ecologically sensitive sand dunes without government authorization.
The video for her latest single, Lifetimes, shows the star on the beaches of the Spanish island of Formentera and partying in the clubs of Ibiza.
Some scenes are believed to have been filmed in the protected dunes of S’Espalmador, one of the most ecologically rich areas of the Balearic Islands.

Part of the national park of Ses Salines and Formentera since 1980, the privately owned, uninhabited islet stretches 1.8 miles (3 kilometers) long and is only half a mile (800 meters) wide.
In 2018, Catalan architect Norman Cinnamond and his sister, Rosy, sold the islet to two wealthy Luxembourg businessmen, brothers Christian Cigrang and Jean Cigrang, for €18 million ($19.8 million), according to El País.
The regional government’s tourism website described the dunes of S’Espalmador, the best-preserved dune system in the Balearic Islands, as having “great ecological value.”

The islet maintains a pristine appearance and is protected by the Island Council, which strictly prohibits any type of construction on the natural reserve.
On Monday (August 13), the Environment Department of the Balearic Islands issued a statement saying that the production company never requested authorization from the Department to carry out the filming and that “preliminary investigation actions have been initiated.”

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Natural Environment further clarified that the alleged breach would not constitute a crime against the environment, given that permission to film the music video may have been granted if they had the necessary authorization.
The department alluded to one section of the Natural Resources Management Plan, which states that “photographic, cinematographic or videographic reports” for an “advertising or commercial exhibition purpose” require express authorization of the ministry.

The singer is set to release her seventh studio album, titled 143, in September.
The first single from the record, Woman’s World, received poor reviews from critics and didn’t climb to the top of the charts like Katy’s previous hits like Hot n Cold and I Kissed A Girl.
The upbeat song was described as “feminism gone wrong,” as it mixes elements of female empowerment with hypersexualization.
The government stated that “preliminary investigation actions have been initiated,” as the production company didn’t request authorization to film there
For Woman’s World and Lifetimes, the 39-year-old star worked with producer Dr. Luke, a decision that was widely criticized online.
In 2014, singer Kesha sued the producer, alleging he had “sexually, physically, verbally, and emotionally abused [her] to the point where [she] nearly lost her life.”
Dr. Luke denied these claims, and last year, he and Kesha reached an agreement to settle a years-long defamation lawsuit.
