Former prime minister Justin Trudeau kept the gossip mill humming Wednesday night when fans filmed him and daughter Ella-Grace dancing in the lower bowl of Montreal’s Bell Centre as Katy Perry belted out “Dark Horse.” The sighting came less than 48 hours after TMZ published photos of Trudeau and Perry sharing a three-hour meal at Le Violon, sparking speculation of a budding relationship.
Audience videos show the 53-year-old ex-leader grinning and waving when the pop star gave a shout-out to “my Canadian friends.” Social media reaction was instant: the hashtag #TruPerry trended worldwide within an hour, with some users dubbing the duo “Canada’s newest power couple” while others cracked jokes about cabinet positions for Perry’s backup dancers. Political strategists note Trudeau’s upbeat cameo offers a welcome image reboot after months out of the spotlight since leaving office.
Neither camp has commented on the nature of their relationship, but insiders tell People the pair bonded over arts education initiatives and have “kept in touch” since Perry’s 2020 UNICEF visit to Ottawa. With Perry’s Lifetimes tour rolling into Quebec City next, and Trudeau’s schedule reportedly clear, don’t be surprised if the former PM pops up again—keeping tabloids, and fans, on permanent watch.
