Katy Perry feels all the fireworks with Justin Trudeau, who accompanied her to the Monday (June 8) premiere of her Lifetimes Tour concert film at the Tribeca Festival in New York City.

And during a Q&A portion of the night, a clip of which was captured by USA Today, the pop star gushed candidly about her relationship with the former Canadian prime minister and how it changed her life during her time on the road. “I am very in love,” she said, earning cheers from the crowd at the OKX Theater.


Calling Trudeau “the love of my life,” she added that she “felt very anchored by” her relationship with him, despite the chaos of touring. “I fly super high,” she added. “Sometimes I need to be anchored. To have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole.”

Perry was previously in a relationship with Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares young daughter Daisy Dove. About two months after she kicked off her Lifetimes trek in April 2025, the former couple’s reps confirmed to Billboard that they’d broken up after nine years together.

“Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,” their statement said at the time. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”

A month later, Trudeau attended the pop star’s Lifetimes stop in Montreal, looking smitten as she sang Billboard Hot 100-topping hit “Firework,” as captured in fan footage. Fans have watched the pair’s romance unfold ever since, with the Tribeca premiere marking their red-carpet debut as a couple.

The show captured in Perry’s new concert film supported 2024 album 143, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200.
