Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau turn heads at Coachella | The Express Tribune

Pop icon Katy Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau have been turning heads since they went official with their relationship in December 2025. This weekend, the couple took to Coachella.

Perry gave fans a peek into her festival getaway on Instagram, sharing clips and snapshots of the event, including videos of performances from Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G.

In one humorous clip, Perry filmed Bieber mid-performance, while clearly scrolling on YouTube, joking “I hope you don’t get any ads”, reflecting her signature playful personality.

Beyond the music, Perry shared candid moments of the couple enjoying the festival together, walking hand-in-hand, grabbing drinks and food, and soaking in the atmosphere. Fans were especially surprised to see Trudeau at Coachella, with many admitting his appearance was not on their bingo cards and dubbing the moment “Traudeauchella”.

The internet, particularly Canadian fans, lit up with support for the unexpected pairing, embracing the couple’s carefree and casual vibe.

Perry also caught fans’ attention with one of her outfits: a cheeky shirt that read, ““pls do not give me a rip off your vape no matter what i say”, paired with a cigarette perched on her ear, tying in her tongue-in-cheek humour.

Trudeau served as Canada’s prime minister from 2015 until January 2025 when he announced his resignation amid political pressure. He and his wife of 18 years, Sophie Sophie Grégoire, with whom he shares three children, separated in August 2023.

From politics to pop culture, the Perry-Trudeau duo is proving to be one of the most unexpected and talked about pairings of the year.
