Singer Katy Perry and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have officially stepped into the spotlight as a couple, making their red carpet debut at the Tribeca Festival in New York. The pair attended the world premiere of Perry's documentary, "Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live from Paris," on Monday night.
Their appearance at the BMCC Theater marked a significant public milestone, with the couple posing for photographers, exchanging affectionate glances and gestures. Perry, 41, wore a vintage white Lanvin dress, while Trudeau, 54, opted for a classic black tuxedo. This event comes after their relationship was confirmed in October of the previous year, following weeks of rumors.
This is very different from Part of Me.
Perry described the documentary as a "concert experience at the highest level for the fans," emphasizing her dedication to the supporters who have backed her for over 18 years. This project follows her previous documentaries, "Part of Me" (2012) and "Katy Perry: Getting Intimate" (2014), which offered glimpses into her life and career.
The couple's joint appearance follows a timeline of public sightings and confirmations. They were first seen together in July 2025, walking a dog in Montreal, and later dining at a high-end restaurant. Trudeau also attended one of Perry's concerts in Canada during her "Lifetimes" tour. Perry had announced her separation from actor Orlando Bloom in August 2023, with whom she shares a daughter, Daisy. Trudeau announced his separation from his wife, Sophie Grégoire, in August 2023, after 18 years of marriage. Paparazzi captured the couple kissing and embracing on a yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara in October 2025, solidifying the confirmation of their romance.
That was more a documentary about my life, and this is a concert experience at the highest level for the fans. I do all this for my fans because they are the ones who have supported me all these years, more than 18 years, and it's something very fun to capture.
