Who would’ve guessed the former Canadian Prime Minister would become one of Katy Perry’s biggest fans? Well, it sure looked that way in Montreal this week, where Justin Trudeau was spotted in the crowd at Perry’s July 30 concert—just days after the two were seen dining together, sparking dating rumors that lit up social media.
And it wasn’t just any casual outing—Trudeau brought along his 16-year-old daughter, Ella-Grace, and couldn’t seem to take his eyes off the pop star performing on stage.
Trudeau’s Starstruck Moment Caught on Camera
Social media quickly picked up the moment, with fans circulating clips of the 53-year-old looking totally engrossed, even mouthing along to Perry’s hit Dark Horse.
At one point, as Perry struck a daring pose during her performance, Trudeau appeared absolutely mesmerized.
The energy wasn’t lost on fans either. One commenter joked, “Bro must be DOWN BAD if he’s willing to go to a Lifetimes tour concert,” while another quipped, “Imagine scoring great seats and seeing a former head of state vibing to Teenage Dream.”
Others wondered aloud whether Perry was about to become “the President of Canada.”
Romance Rumors Heat Up After Montreal Dinner
This flurry of attention came just days after Katy and Justin were seen having dinner at Le Violon restaurant in Montreal.
The intimate meal set tongues wagging online, with footage showing them leaning in close across the table, deep in conversation.
According to body language expert Judi James, there were clear signs of flirtation.
“They were tucked away at a private table, heads leaning in—a classic sign of wanting undivided attention,” she explained.
James also noted Katy’s subtle facial gestures, like cupping her chin and touching her ear, which can signal attraction or an effort to appear more visually captivating.
A Tough Year for Both Stars
Both Perry and Trudeau have had their fair share of emotional upheaval in the past year, which makes their potential connection even more intriguing.
Perry recently confirmed her split from long-time partner Orlando Bloom after years of on-and-off speculation.
The pair, who got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019, share a daughter named Daisy, now 4.
Katy has also been navigating professional challenges, including the lukewarm reception of her latest album 143, which hasn’t had the chart impact she may have hoped for.
Still, she’s powering ahead with her Lifetimes Tour, where she’s been commanding stages and dazzling audiences.
Trudeau’s Post-Prime Minister Life Takes a Turn
As for Justin, his own personal life went through a shake-up when he announced his separation from wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
They share three children: Xavier, 17, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11.
Trudeau and Sophie’s story stretches back decades—they first met as kids through Justin’s late brother Michel and reconnected in adulthood before marrying.
Their split was widely covered, capping off a turbulent period that also saw Trudeau resign from his role as Prime Minister in January, just ahead of Donald Trump’s return to political center stage.
Fans React With Humor, Curiosity, and Support
With all eyes on them, fans have taken to the internet with equal parts curiosity and amusement.
One person posted a GIF of Wendy Williams sipping tea, while another wrote, “This is genuinely the happiest he’s looked in ages.”
While neither Trudeau nor Perry has commented publicly on their budding connection, the internet is already invested in this unexpected pairing.
Whether it’s just two public figures bonding over dinner or the start of something more, one thing’s for sure—everyone’s watching.
