Deadheads were blown away during the first residency by four-hour shows that perfectly blended the group’s beloved hippie anthems with high-resolution digital psychedelia projected onto the one-of-a-kind venue’s immersive dome.

Justin Trudeau Helps Katy Perry Promote ‘Watch it Burn’ Single With Goofy TikTok Dance: Watch

The former prime minister hopped up and down with the pop star and friends to the silly clip.

Most pop stars don’t get politicians endorsing their songs, but Katy Perry isn’t like the others. The hitmaker promoted her new single “Watch It Burn” in a recent TikTok, which featured former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau — who just so happens to be Perry’s boyfriend — giving his seal of approval by letting loose to the track.

The clip posted on Thursday (July 9) opens with the musician outdoors in a bus lot, singing the lyrics to her June-released song in close-up. Then, as the beat drops, she starts hopping up and down, moving backward a few feet to reveal a group of people bouncing around as well. After a few seconds, Trudeau joins in, bounding into frame and looking at Perry adoringly before hopping away, his hair flopping up and down.
