Pop superstar Katy Perry has always had a knack for mixing humor and heart when she’s on stage—but her latest concert in London has fans buzzing for more than her powerhouse vocals. During her Lifetimes Tour stop on October 13, Perry delivered a cheeky, seemingly spontaneous response that many believe was her playful acknowledgment of the rumors linking her to former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
A Playful Moment on Stage
It all started when a fan in the crowd held up a sign that read, “Katy Perry, will you marry me?” The “Firework” singer, never one to shy away from banter, decided to respond in a way that instantly set social media ablaze. With a sly smile, she told the fan, “You know, you really should have asked me about 48 hours ago.”
The audience erupted with laughter, but it was what she said next that caught everyone’s attention. When the same fan called out, saying he’d “heard she was single,” Perry shot back with a smirk, “You heard I was single? That’s interesting.”
The comment was lighthearted, but the timing couldn’t have been more suggestive. Just days earlier, Perry was photographed spending time with Justin Trudeau, sparking rumors of a budding romance between the Grammy-nominated pop star and Canada’s charismatic ex-leader.
Fueling the Trudeau Connection
Reports from entertainment outlets such as E! News, People, and InStyle confirmed that Perry and Trudeau were seen together during a private yacht getaway near Santa Barbara, where the two appeared to share close and affectionate moments. Paparazzi photos captured them laughing, talking, and—according to several eyewitnesses—sharing more than just friendly glances.
The images quickly went viral, prompting widespread speculation that Perry, who split from longtime fiancé Orlando Bloom earlier this year, may have found a new flame. Trudeau, who has also faced his share of personal transitions following his separation from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023, has been linked to a few public figures since leaving office—but this marks the first time a rumor involving him has caught global attention.
“A Supersized Attraction”
According to People magazine, sources close to both stars claim that there’s undeniable chemistry between Perry and Trudeau. One insider described their dynamic as a “supersized attraction”, noting that they are “definitely into each other” but are keeping things discreet while navigating their respective personal lives.
Both Perry and Trudeau have maintained a public image centered on diplomacy, artistry, and social engagement—Perry through her humanitarian work with UNICEF and Trudeau through his leadership on progressive causes. For many fans, the pairing feels unexpectedly fitting: a politically sharp, globally minded duo with a shared passion for humanitarian issues and global outreach.
Perry’s Onstage “Wink”
Back in London, Perry continued the playful tone during her concert. After her initial comments, she looked out at the crowd and quipped, “He’s just a little too late…”, referring to the fan who proposed. The remark drew laughter, but to many observers, it sounded like another coy nod to her recent time with Trudeau.
She also added another tongue-in-cheek line about her romantic preferences:
“No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time… but not anymore.”
This statement, too, was read as a light tease—perhaps signaling that her heart has wandered away from her usual type and toward someone distinctly non-English and distinctly Canadian.
Fans and Media React
The crowd reaction was electric, and social media lit up within minutes. Clips from the concert circulated rapidly on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), with users dissecting every word. Some fans praised Perry for her confidence and humor, while others couldn’t resist pointing out the uncanny timing of her jokes.
E! News labeled it a “subtle but deliberate response” to the Trudeau rumors, while InStyle called it “Katy’s cheekiest onstage wink yet.” Others simply admired her ability to address tabloid speculation with poise and playfulness.
While neither Katy Perry nor Justin Trudeau has officially confirmed or denied their relationship, their recent public appearances together—and Perry’s teasing remarks—suggest a close connection that extends beyond casual friendship. Whether it’s a full-blown romance or just two influential figures enjoying each other’s company, the world seems eager to watch the story unfold.
For Perry, who’s been balancing motherhood, her Las Vegas residency, and a return to the global stage with her Lifetimes Tour, this new chapter comes at an interesting time in her personal journey. As one source told People, “She’s in a place of joy and freedom—ready to laugh again, love again, and live fully.”
In true Katy Perry fashion, the singer managed to turn a tabloid-fueled rumor into a moment of connection, humor, and intrigue. Whether her London comments were a simple joke or a hint at something deeper, one thing is certain—Perry knows exactly how to keep her fans entertained and guessing.
As her tour continues across Europe, fans are left wondering: Will she make another sly reference to Trudeau? Or was that one winking comment her way of saying, “Yes, I know what you’ve all been talking about”?
Either way, the pop icon once again proved she’s the master of controlling her own narrative—with a smile, a laugh, and just the right amount of mystery.
