Katy Perry is facing scrutiny after filming a music video in a protected natural area of Ibiza, Spain, and simultaneously, fueling speculation about a new romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin trudeau. The incident has sparked debate about responsible filming practices and the preservation of delicate ecosystems.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Natural Habitat has confirmed that the production team behind Katy Perry’s “Lifetimes” music video did not obtain the necessary permits to film within the ses Salines Natural Park, specifically on the ecologically sensitive islet of S’espalmador. The recording took place in July 2024.
While authorities determined no environmental damage occurred, the infraction is considered “serious” due to the protected status of the area. Investigations revealed that claims of ”verbal approval” from local producers were unsubstantiated; no official permit was granted for access to the protected dunes.
S’espalmador, a natural jewel of the Balearic Islands, boasts one of the best-preserved dune systems in the region. Covering 2.9 kilometers in length and 800 meters in width (137 hectares),the area has been protected since 1980 and is vital for its high ecological value. Footage from the video shows Perry dancing and jumping within the dune system, an area clearly marked with barriers prohibiting access. The video also features scenes filmed in Ibiza and Formentera’s urban areas and nightclubs.

Filming in sensitive areas requires meticulous planning, adherence to regulations, and a commitment to minimizing environmental impact. The ses Salines Natural Park is a haven for biodiversity, and unauthorized access can disrupt delicate ecosystems and threaten the species that depend on them.Experts emphasize the importance of proactive communication between production companies and environmental authorities. Obtaining the correct permits isn’t merely a bureaucratic hurdle; it’s a crucial step in ensuring responsible filming practices and safeguarding natural heritage. The fine levied against Perry’s production team serves as a reminder of the consequences of non-compliance.
