Spanish Authorities Investigate Katy Perry Video Permits

Katy Perry's music video for 'Lifetimes' is under investigation by Spanish authorities for allegedly filming without proper permits on protected sand dunes in the Balearic Islands. Perry's label claims they received verbal approval to proceed, but the local environmental department states that the production company did not secure the necessary written authorization. The investigation focuses on potential administrative violations rather than environmental crimes. The video features scenes shot in ecologically sensitive areas, including the Natural Park of Ses Salines. Despite the controversy, Perry and her team assert they adhered to all regulations and respect the protected locations. This incident follows criticism of Perry's previous single 'Woman's World,' adding to challenges faced in the lead-up to her album release on September 20.
