Katy Perry is facing some legal trouble in Spain as authorities are investigating her latest music video for alleged unauthorised beach filming. The pop star was recently in the country filming the video for her new single, but it seems that she may have failed to obtain the proper permits to film on the beach.
The video in question features Perry performing on a picturesque beach in Spain, surrounded by dancers and extravagant set pieces. However, local officials have raised concerns about the lack of permits for the filming, as well as potential damage to the environment caused by the production.
According to reports, the video was shot on the beach in Nerja, a popular tourist destination on the southern coast of Spain. The town’s mayor, José Alberto Armijo, has confirmed that the production did not have the necessary permits to film on the beach, and that the local government is investigating the matter.
Armijo also expressed concerns about the potential damage to the environment caused by the filming, as large-scale productions can often disrupt delicate ecosystems and wildlife habitats. He stated that the town is committed to protecting its natural resources and will take action to ensure that future filming projects are conducted in a more environmentally conscious manner.
This is not the first time that Perry has faced controversy over her music videos. In 2017, the singer was criticized for cultural appropriation in her video for the song “Swish Swish,” which featured imagery inspired by Japanese culture. Perry later apologized for the video and acknowledged that she had made a mistake.
It remains to be seen how the investigation in Spain will impact Perry’s latest music video. The pop star has not yet commented on the situation, but it is likely that she will address the issue in the coming days.
In the meantime, fans of Katy Perry can continue to enjoy her music while the legal proceedings play out. Hopefully, this incident will serve as a reminder to artists and filmmakers to always obtain the proper permits before filming on public property, in order to avoid any potential legal issues or environmental damage.
