Katy Perry's latest music video, 'Lifetimes,' is under scrutiny by the regional government of Spain's Balearic Islands, where some scenes were filmed in the ecologically sensitive Ses Salines Natural Park.

The investigation was initiated due to the production company's failure to secure all necessary permits for shooting in restricted areas. Despite assurances from the local production company, the label acknowledged one permit was still being processed.

Regional authorities have begun preliminary investigations, emphasizing that filming could have been authorized with appropriate permits. The controversy highlights the need for stringent regulations in protecting valuable ecological zones, even in the context of popular media projects.
