Katy Perry fined after illegal music video shoot in Spain
Katy Perry has allegedly been fined more than £5,000 after filming a music video in a protected area of Spain without permission. The Dark Horse hitmaker, 40, shot footage in Ses Salines Natural Park on the Balearic Islands for her single, LIFETIMES, in July 2024. After the shoot, she faced backlash from environmental campaigners who pointed out that she filmed scenes on the dune of s'Espalmador, a protected area of land. The dune sits in an exclusion zone, where access is strictly prohibited to protect sensitive habitats and wildlife. Investigators have since confirmed that the company filming the music video failed to obtain the required permit from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and the Natural Environment, making their filming unauthorised. Perry and the crew were issued a fine of €6,001 (£5,197), per the Majorca Daily Bulletin, which has been paid. Officials said that while Perry's offence was 'serious', as there was no evidence of lasting damage, she would receive no additional penalties. The natural park covers areas in Ibiza and Formentera as well as the sea between them. It comes as the pop icon has faced intense scrutiny over her marriage to Orlando Bloom, with rumours suggesting it is on the rocks. The pair began dating in 2016 and welcomed their daughter in 2020. While neither Katy nor Orlando has explicitly commented on the reports themselves, their representatives have now issued a statement confirming their split. They told Us Weekly: 'Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting.'

The singer has been spotted on a cosy dinner date with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was later seen at her Montreal concert. More Trending Earlier this year, Perry faced backlash after going into space as part of the all-female Blue Origin flight. The other women on the flight included TV host and journalist Gayle King, NASA aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, research scientist Amanda Nguyen, and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn. Video footage showed Katy holding a flower in tribute to her daughter, Daisy, and gazing into the camera while floating around the cabin. After landing on Earth, she held the daisy to the sky and then kissed the ground. Metro has reached out to representatives for Katy Perry for comment Got a story?

At the time, the Balearic Islands government said an investigation is underway after it was discovered that Katy's video was filmed in a protected area without necessary permissions.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and the Natural Environment said a preliminary investigation for possible environmental damage had been launched against the production company WeOwnTheCity. Now, it's been revealed that the production company behind the video has been slapped with a €6,001 (£5,197) fine, according to Majorca Daily Bulletin. Officials have said that as there was no lasting damage to the area, there will be no additional penalties handed out, despite it being a 'serious' offence. In the Lifetimes music video, directed by Stillz, Katy can be seen cliff jumping, dancing on a beach, and partying at popular nightlife spots on the islands. Chris Pratt dragged into Katy Perry's bitter legal row after he rented $15m home The video also includes a series of postcards from what appear to be filming locations including Ibiza and Formentera, where the national park is located. Lifetimes is the second single from Katy's upcoming sixth studio album 143. It follows the release of the album's lead single Woman's World, which received mostly negative reviews. Fans have criticised the song's "dated" lyrics, with one person branding it "the worst thing I've ever heard." "I was rooting for Katy but these lyrics are so dated it's giving 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign material. It's over," another fan wrote on X. Several people, including actress Abigail Breslin, also called her out for collaborating with disgraced music producer Dr. Luke on the song and album. One X user wrote, "The irony of having a song praising women but you're working with Dr. Luke? Katy Perry I didn't expect this from you." Kesha accused Dr. Luke of sexually assaulting her in a 2014 lawsuit. He denied the allegations and counter-sued the TiKToK singer, with the duo settling their claims last year.
