Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau go viral after being spotted at Coachella – National
The internet was quick to react to a series of images and videos shared by the California Gurls singer, which included a clip of the pair enjoying Justin Bieber’s headlining performance, alongside the caption “heat checkin’ these chickens,” a reference to a lyric from the Stratford, Ont.-born artist’s song Speed Demon, among other pictures of the two soaking in the festival.
But it seemed to be the former prime minister’s frat boyish appearance that caught people’s attention. Some X users highlighted the contrast between Trudeau’s clothing choices and his former role as prime minister. In one side-by-side, a person compared the couple’s formal appearance in Davos, Switzerland in January with their casual curbside manner in the California desert.”Get a man who can take you to the world’s economic forum and Coachella,” the post said.

The pop superstar and the former Canadian prime minister made their romance public for the first time in October 2025, leaving Crazy Horse Paris hand in hand after rumours began to swirl in July when the pair were spotted enjoying a meal together at upscale eatery Le Violon in Montreal’s Le Plateau neighbourhood.
Perry and Trudeau were first seen in public almost two years after Trudeau and his ex-wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, split, and about a month after Perry announced that she and actor Orlando Bloom had called off their engagement after almost a decade together.
Trudeau and his ex-wife have three children: Xavier, 18, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11.
Perry and Bloom share a five-year-old daughter, Daisy.
