MADRID (AP) — Katy Perry pretends in her new music video to be one of the thousands of tourists having the time of their lives on on Spain’s Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. But local authorities are opening an investigation over the parts of “Lifetimes” filmed in a protected natural park without permission. The department of natural environment said Tuesday that the filming wouldn’t have been an environmental offense because this type of production can be authorized with a permit. Her label said it had been assured it could go ahead with the filming.
