Katy Perry appeared to be unfazed by the lukewarm reception afforded her new music as she filmed a promotional video in Spain on Sunday.
The singer is preparing for the release of her sixth studio album, but an ongoing promotional missive has been overshadowed by the brutal response to its lead single, Women’s World.
Perry released the track, billed as an empowering feminist anthem, and its accompanying video in July, but the track was promptly dismissed as unoriginal, hypocritical and formulaic.
Making an appearance in Ibiza over the weekend, the American star, 39, appeared to be in high spirits while shooting another promo – potentially for her next single, the recently announced Lifetimes.
Filming on location across the Spanish party island, Perry wore a sleeveless silver halter-neck as she spread her arms while riding pillion on a motorcycle.

Perry’s outing comes after DailyMail.com revealed she is ‘pointing the fingers at everyone but herself’ after her comeback single, Woman’s World, failed to set the charts alight.
Insiders claim she is desperately scrambling to devise a new plan to save her musical comeback.
The Teenage Dream singer also faced criticism for the Sєxualised nature of the accompanying video, as well as her decision to work with music producer Dr. Luke, 50, after his highly publicised legal battle with Tick Tock singer Kesha, 37.
With the single plummeting down the US iTunes chart less than a week since its July 11 release, Perry is said to be ‘freaking out’ and demanding that her team go ‘back to the drawing board’ to save her album from suffering the same fate.
‘Katy is freaking out right now because she is very aware of the feedback that Woman’s World is getting,’ an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com.
‘She is pointing the fingers at everyone but herself, but it is her own fault.’
The source claimed the biggest risk Perry had taken was reconnecting with Dr. Luke – the music producer who worked on her hit singles including 2008’s I Kissed a Girl and 2010’s California Gurls before later being accused of Sєxual, physical, and emotional abuse by Kesha.
The super producer, whose real name is Łukasz Gottwald, denied all allegations, including Kesha’s claim that he raped Katy – something she shut down.
