Katy Perry<\/a> is finally paying the price for last year\u2019s \u201cLifelines\u201d music video shoot<\/a>\u2014and as it turns out, that price is steep. According to Majorca Daily Bulletin<\/a>, Katy\u2019s production company was fined \u20ac6,001 (or ~$7,000) for filming without permission in an environmentally-protected area, with officials classifying the offense as \u201cserious.\u201d<\/p>\n

This drama first began in summer 2024 when Katy dropped the music video for her second single off 143, which showed footage from sand dunes in Spain\u2019s Ses Salines Natural Park. The problem: Katy\u2019s crew didn\u2019t obtain the permit required to film there…which is why the environment department of the Balearic Islands opened an investigation to determine whether or not filming caused environmental damage.<\/p>\n

The dune of s\u2019Espalmador (as well as the neighboring Ses Illetes beach) are together considered the best-preserved dune system in Spain\u2019s Balearic Islands, so the resulting outrage was understandable. And while the environment department\u2019s press release<\/a> noted that filming on the dunes isn\u2019t necessarily a \u201ccrime against the environment,\u201d it is considered an infringement of regulations.<\/p>\n

Not long after the news broke, a spokesperson for the hitmaker\u2019s label, Capitol Records, said that they believed they had the necessary permits to film on the beach.<\/p>\n

More on This Mess:<\/span><\/h6>\n

\u201cThe local video production company assured us that all necessary permits for the video were secure,\u201d the rep told Variety<\/a> at the time. \u201cWe have since learned that one permit was in process, although we were given verbal authority to go ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

They also insisted they had \u201cadhered to all regulations associated with filming in this area and have the utmost respect for this location and the officials tasked with protecting it.\u201d
<\/p>\n

A year later, it seems like the investigation has finally reached its conclusion. Per Majorca Daily Bulletin, Katy\u2019s production company \u201cpromptly settled the fine\u201d after the regional authorities issued the sanction\u2014and more importantly, no evidence of lasting environmental damage was found. <\/p>\n

So I guess that\u2019s that on that!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
