Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sparked dating rumors with pop star Katy Perry after the two were seen dining together in Montreal and later attending her concert in the city. The speculation follows several videos posted by concertgoers showing Trudeau enthusiastically singing along to Perry’s hit song “Firework” during her Lifetimes tour stop over the weekend.

The viral footage, originally posted by TikTok user @avocado6713, shows Trudeau fully immersed in the performance, leading many to joke that he may be a “secret KatyCat,” referring to the nickname for Perry’s devoted fanbase.

Though neither party has issued a public statement about their relationship status, the internet has been quick to speculate. Perry is currently separated from actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a child, while Trudeau finalized his divorce from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in early 2024. Their recent public appearances have fueled curiosity about whether their connection is romantic or simply friendly.

Despite the unexpected nature of the pairing, cultural observers have noted some surprising similarities between the two. As pointed out by Joan Summers in a piece for Vulture, both Trudeau and Perry have faced past criticism over cultural appropriation and have become recurring figures in viral media coverage—from BuzzFeed listicles to meme culture.

While it remains unclear whether this is a budding relationship or just an amusing coincidence, their sightings in Montreal have undeniably placed them at the center of pop culture chatter.
