In her video for the new single “Lifetimes”, Katy Perry is having a boozy party on the Balearic Islands. But apparently not everything was above board.
Trouble for Katy Perry in Spain: The authorities are investigating the team of the US pop star (39, “Teenage Dream”, “Dark Horse”) because of a music video that was illegally filmed in a nature reserve on Ibiza. The producers of the video had not applied for a filming permit, the Ministry of the Environment of the Balearic Islands in Palma (Mallorca) announced. Perry had filmed the video for the new single “Lifetimes” on Ibiza and the neighboring island of Formentera. The singer was initially unavailable for comment.

The ministry’s statement said that “preliminary investigations” had been launched because of the filming that was carried out without a permit. However, the authority stressed that in principle no “environmental crime” was suspected, as photo and video recordings were permitted in the affected Ses Salines nature reserve with prior permission.

The video for “Lifetimes” shows Perry running and dancing through the dunes in a holiday mood, jumping from a rock into the Mediterranean or partying happily in clubs. The video was viewed more than two and a half million times after just five days on the singer and songwriter’s official YouTube channel.
