Justin Trudeau Sways at Katy Perry’s ‘Lifetimes’ Tour After Dinner Date
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was spotted swaying along to Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ during her ‘Lifetimes’ tour in Toronto on Wednesday night.
Kai Montgomery here, rolling my eyes so hard they might stay that way if I have to recap another celebrity outing.
Oh, fantastic. A pop diva is flying over the crowd in a giant mechanical butterfly and a head of government thinks that is the height of culture. Yet just two nights earlier, Trudeau and Perry were quietly sharing dinner at Le Violon, the upscale downtown restaurant known for its vaulted ceilings and meticulously plated dishes. Sources report they arrived separately, kept conversation friendly, and avoided any grand public displays—because apparently even politicians know not to outshine a pop star in public.
Fast-forward to Wednesday and several concertgoers captured video of Trudeau with a cautious grin, swaying in his seat while Perry belted out hit after hit. At one point he broke into a full-teeth smile during “Roar,” undoubtedly matching every note as Perry soared above him in the infamous mechanical butterfly contraption. That very same stunt nearly sent her tumbling into the crowd on a recent night, yet this performance went off without a hitch.
We don’t know if the pair met up again after the show, but TMZ cameras were once again at the ready. The dinner footage from Monday shows them seated side by side, sipping cocktails on a terrace, looking just close enough to spark whispers of more than friendship—despite their insistence that it was all platonic. Frankly, if you need confirmation of basic chemistry, you’re doing life wrong.
Perry is currently on the road supporting her seventh studio album, “143,” which kicked off in Mexico City back in April. The tour marks her first major run since her split from Orlando Bloom, ending a nine-year relationship that included a six-year engagement and the birth of their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020. Meanwhile, Trudeau’s separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has been public since earlier this year, so both stars are navigating new chapters in their personal lives.
Here’s the takeaway: when your calendar includes world tours and diplomatic duties, even a simple concert visit becomes headline fodder. Yet for all the glitz—mechanical butterflies, VIP seating, candle-lit dinner—this story is as predictable as a ballad’s key change. Still, if you needed proof that pop culture and politics enjoy a tangled waltz now and then, Trudeau’s front-row moves have you covered.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go find a show where no one wears a sash or a suit, because at least then I won’t feel like I’m grading their dance moves.
That concludes my reluctant briefing. Feel free to applaud, roll your eyes, or just move along.
