In a pairing no one saw coming but everyone is now watching, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been spotted attending Katy Perry’s Montreal concert.
The gig comes just days after the two were filmed dining together at a high-end local restaurant.
The sighting has reignited speculation about the nature of their relationship, turning a political retirement into something far splashier.
Social media erupted late Tuesday night as concertgoers at Perry’s July 30 show shared footage of Trudeau, 53, in the audience at the Bell Centre.
He wasn’t alone, as his 16-year-old daughter Ella-Grace was at his side, beaming as the pop star powered through her chart-topping setlist.
But it wasn’t just a father-daughter night out that got people talking. Eyewitness videos appear to show Trudeau visibly enjoying Perry’s performance, mouthing lyrics to Dark Horse and watching her acrobatic stage routine with wide-eyed admiration.

One clip shows him momentarily frozen as Perry strikes a pose mid-song, a soft grin possibly betraying more than casual appreciation.
The concert appearance follows closely on the heels of the much buzzed-about dinner between Trudeau and Perry at Le Violon, an upscale French restaurant in downtown Montreal.
The two were filmed together on July 28 in a moment that has since gone viral, fueling wild speculation and a flurry of memes.

Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that both Trudeau and Perry are recently single.
Trudeau announced his separation from Sophie Grégoire in 2023, while Perry reportedly split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom earlier this summer.
Though there has been no official comment from either camp, the timing and visibility of their outings have left fans and media alike leaning in with curiosity.
While some observers are dismissing the events as coincidental or simply a high-profile friendship, others have been quick to project something more.
Critics, however, have pointed to the spectacle as a calculated rebranding effort for both parties – Perry, 40, shifting her public image post-Orlando, and Trudeau stepping further into post-political life with a dose of celebrity glamour.
But if that’s the case, it’s working. The internet hasn’t stopped talking since the sightings emerged.
For now, it remains to be seen whether this is a flirtation, a friendship, or just a fascinating coincidence.
