Singer Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stepped onto the carpet together on Monday night in New York, making their first official public appearance as a couple. The pair attended the Tribeca Film Festival for the screening of Perry’s concert film, Katy Perry, The Lifetime Tour - Live from Paris. According to Hello!, the two looked close throughout the occasion, posing arm in arm and sharing affectionate moments for photographers. It was a high-profile crossover between pop music and politics, and it placed Perry’s latest project firmly in the spotlight.

The singer used the festival appearance to support the screening of her live film, a music-focused moment that added extra weight to the night. Perry wore a white column dress with floral detailing at the neck and waist, while Trudeau chose a black suit with an open collar. The contrast worked well on the carpet and gave the pair a polished, coordinated look. More importantly for music fans, the event centered on Perry’s performance film and the continued rollout around her live work, giving the screening a strong celebrity angle without losing its industry relevance.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Go Public
Their appearance marked a new stage in a relationship first linked to sightings in Montreal in July 2025. Since then, the couple has gradually become more visible, including a social media post that placed them together in a more public setting. On Monday, that shift became official. Cameras caught them standing close, exchanging looks, and appearing fully at ease. The moment also underlined how Perry’s public image has entered a new chapter after her split from Orlando Bloom in July 2025, ending a relationship that lasted nearly a decade and included a six-year engagement.
Xavier Trudeau Shares Katy Perry’s Support
The music connection extends beyond the carpet. Trudeau’s son Xavier, an aspiring musician, has spoken about Perry’s role in his creative process. "When I'm really happy with a song, [I] send it [to her]. She's always happy to give me advice or tell me what I should change," Xavier said according to Hello!. His comments suggest Perry has become a supportive figure in the family’s musical life. For an artist with years of chart success, that kind of behind-the-scenes encouragement adds another layer to her presence offstage.
Justin Trudeau Supports Perry at Screening
The former prime minister’s role at the screening was simple but visible: he was there for Perry. That support came through in the way he watched her during solo photo moments and stayed close as she greeted cameras. The appearance gave the night a romantic edge, but it also reinforced the purpose of the outing — backing a major music release tied to Perry’s live performances. Their debut as a couple may have drawn attention first, yet the event also served as a platform for Perry’s concert film and her current place in the music conversation.
