Katy Perry’s New Music Video Investigated by Spain Over Possible Damage to Protected Dunes
Spanish officials have opened an investigation into the production company for Katy Perry‘s latest music video for filming in protected dunes of the Balearic Islands without permission.
The Stillz-directed video for Perry’s newly released single Lifetimes from her sixth studio album 143 shows the singer partying and clubbing on the Mediterranean islands, but Spanish authorities released a statement Tuesday saying authorization was not sought to film on the ecologically sensitive land on the isle of S’Espalmado in Formentera.
Officials are looking into possible damage to the dunes, though Perry and the production team are not at risk of being persecuted for any “crime against the environment” because videos and photography “can be authorized” upon request.
