Katy Perry Under Environmental Investigation In Spain Over 'Lifetimes' Music Video
HuffPost
The pop star filmed the music video for "Lifetimes," the second single off her upcoming album, in an ecologically protected area of the Balearic Islands.
Katy Perry has seemingly added to her mesmerizing year of public missteps.
The pop star exited “American Idol” this year and announced her first album since 2020. However, her first two singles with producer Dr. Luke — who was engaged in a yearslong legal battle with singer Kesha after she accused him of sexual abuse — flopped on the charts and her “Women’s World” music video was widely mocked. Now she’s under investigation for potential environmental damage.
The government of the Balearic Islands in Spain said Perry and her production company in a statement Tuesday did not have proper authorization to film the video for “Lifetimes,” the second single off of her upcoming album, “143.” It will investigate to see if the filming damaged ecologically vital sand dunes in the process.
Perry’s company WeOwnTheCity shot the video in a protected area of Ses Salines Natural Park on S’Espalmador, a Spanish isle of the Pityusic Islands. The park serves as a nesting area for migratory birds and supports crucial ecological and marine habitats.
A translation of the Catalan statement Tuesday confirms the government isn’t pursuing this case as a “crime against the environment,” but as an assessment of how thoroughly Perry and her company may have infringed on the local laws aimed to prevent such damage.
