Katy Perry Video Crew Received ‘Verbal Approval’ for ‘Lifetimes’ Video Shoot on Environmentally Protected Spanish Beach
Katy Perry’s video crew received 'verbal approval' to shoot the singer's 'Lifetimes' video on an environmentally protected beach in Spain, a rep says.
Katy Perry ’s video crew had received “verbal approval” to film the singer’s “Lifetimes” clips on an environmentally protected beach in Spain, a rep for the singer’s label said late Wednesday after news broke that the crew was being investigated for allegedly failing to receive proper authorization for the shoot. When announcing the investigation, the Environmental Department of the Balearic Islands in Spain had said that the shoot did not constitute a “crime against the environment,” but rather that full authorization had not been obtained. The video for her lead single “Woman’s World” was criticized for depicting cliché feminist stereotypes that Perry later said it was intending to parody; it did not help that the single was produced by her longtime collaborator Dr. Luke, who was accused of sexual misconduct by his former protégé Kesha, although he maintained his innocence throughout the entire decade-long legal proceedings and the case was ultimately settled with no admission of guilt.
