The video in question was shared by Perry on her TikTok account and features her dancing to her newly released single, “Watch It Burn.” The song debuted on June 25, and since then has become an integral part of her ongoing Out of Office European tour. In the clip filmed during her performance at the Jazz Open festival in Stuttgart, Germany, Perry hops along to the upbeat outro of the song, accompanied by members of her team. Trudeau, 54, can be seen briefly joining in with the fun before stepping back out of view, much to the delight of fans.
Following the upload, social media users were quick to engage with the clip, with comments celebrating Trudeau’s spontaneous participation. One user expressed their amusement with a crying emoji, remarking, “Not Trudeau jumping around too,” while another endearingly referred to the pair as “Cuties.” The joyous atmosphere in the video showcased a lighter side to both the singer and the politician amid their busy schedules.
The timing of Trudeau’s appearance aligns with a flurry of shared moments between him and Perry, particularly on social media. Just hours before the TikTok release, a carousel post on Perry’s Instagram included a candid image of the duo seemingly sharing a kiss, capturing a tender moment that further fuelled speculation about their relationship.
Perry and Trudeau first ignited romance rumours in July 2025, shortly after it was confirmed that the singer had ended her engagement with actor Orlando Bloom. The pair were spotted together walking a dog in Montreal, and shortly thereafter, Trudeau attended one of Perry’s concerts in the city, piquing the interest of keen observers and gossip columnists alike.
By October 2025, their relationship progressed into more public appearances, with the couple attending a cabaret show at the Crazy Horse in Paris to celebrate Perry’s 41st birthday. These outings have solidified their status as a couple in the public eye, beautifully blending the worlds of politics and pop music.
While Perry has embraced her relationship with Trudeau, she has also shared insights about her creative process leading up to “Watch It Burn.” In a candid conversation on the Unfamous podcast with Justin Tranter, she discussed the challenges faced in the previous year and how this fuelled her songwriting. Perry noted, “I don’t typically feel like a victim. You can hear it in my songs. I don’t resonate with that. But last year was pretty tough, and it would have been easy for me to fall into that weird victim triangle.”
As a devoted mother, Perry prioritises her role as a role model to her five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, whom she shares with Bloom. Reflecting on her life as a working mother, she expressed her happiness in bringing Daisy along to work and emphasised the importance of presenting a strong and multifaceted image for her daughter. “I’m just glad to model a strong, steady, intelligent, funny, weird woman for my beautiful daughter,” she stated in a previous interview.
The playful connection between Perry and Trudeau has not only captured the attention of fans but also highlights the blending of their respective worlds. As Perry continues her tour, it remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve, but one thing is clear: the couple’s dynamic is a source of joy for many, blending music and diplomacy in an unexpected yet endearing partnership.
