Katy Perry Is ‘Under Investigation’ After Shooting Her Music Videos In Ibiza

Did you know that Katy Perry just released two new songs? Or that she’s weeks away from releasing her seventh album, “143”? If not, you’re not alone. What was supposed to be an iconic comeback for the pop star is turning out to be an epic flop, and things are only getting worse, now that the 39-year-old is under investigation from the Spanish government for filming on a remote island without permits. Keep reading for more information.

Though her single “Lifetimes” didn’t do as well as she’d hoped, the singer did decide to film a music video, perhaps to bolster the reputation of the song. And while she chose a gorgeous location to film the music video—the islands of Ibiza and Formentera in Spain—she, or someone on her team, seemed to have forgotten one of the most important checklist items: a permit to film there.

One of the Balearic Islands, as they’re called, has ecologically sensitive sand dunes, and according to the environmental department of the islands, the production company behind the video, WeOwnTheCity, did not secure permission to film at the location. Now, Perry is under investigation as department officials look into any potential damage to the dunes.
