A timeline of Katy Perry’s disastrous comeback, as Spanish authorities investigate her new music video

Despite all the criticism, Perry released “Woman’s World” and a music video for it on July 12.

Fans and critics immediately criticized the full song and the chaotic music video, where Perry plays a hyper-sexualized version of Rosie the Riveter that gets crushed by an anvil and a sexy half-cyborg that drives around town in a monster truck.

A day after the video was released, Perry released a behind-the-scenes clip on X in which she explained that the video was satirical, but fans were not buying it.

As Business Insider’s senior music reporter Callie Ahlgrim wrote in her review of the song last month: “Satire only works when it has something to say, and there isn’t a shred of complexity, self-awareness, or cultural analysis in lyrics like, ‘She’s a flower, she’s a thorn / Superhuman, No. 1 / She’s a sister, she’s a mother.'”

In a press release published on Tuesday, a representative for the Natural Environment department of the Balearic Islands said that Perry’s production company did not get the correct authorization for filming part of the “Lifetimes” video in Ses Salines Natural Park.

The park is a protected area, meaning permission must be sought before it can be filmed for commercial purposes.

The department also shut down rumors that they were investigating the production company for damaging the environment.
