Katy Perry's latest music video, 'Lifetimes', showcases her vibrant experiences in Ibiza, Formentera, and the small island of s'Espalmador, featuring scenes of her dancing and enjoying nightlife.

Released on August 8, the video has quickly gained popularity, amassing over two million views on YouTube within just four days.

Perry describes 'Lifetimes' as a reflection of her journey to finding profound love, emphasizing that her daughter, Daisy Dove, is her soulmate.

However, the filming has sparked controversy as the American production company failed to secure the necessary permits from local authorities.

The Environment Department of the Balearic Islands announced that the production did not obtain permission to film at the protected sand dunes of Ses Salines Natural Park.

An investigation has been initiated to assess potential environmental damage caused by the video shoot, particularly in restricted areas where Perry was filmed dancing.

Spanish authorities are specifically looking into whether the filming harmed the ecologically significant dunes of s'Espalmador, which are part of the protected Ses Salines Natural Park.

While the Balearic regional government acknowledged violations of Spanish law, they clarified that these are considered administrative offenses rather than environmental crimes.

The General Directorate of Natural Environment emphasized that although filming without permission is an infringement, it is not classified as a crime against the environment.

S'Espalmador, known for its well-preserved dune systems and significant ecological value, is located just north of Formentera and is part of the Ses Salines nature reserve.

Reports indicate that the production team did not obtain the necessary filming permits for the sensitive location, raising concerns about adherence to environmental regulations.

The music video features Perry in various settings, including a crowded nightclub and the sensitive dune area, further complicating the legal and environmental implications of the shoot.
