Katy Perry couldn't help but profess her love for her boyfriend Justin Trudeau when they made their red carpet at the premiere of her concert film on Monday, during the 25th Annual Tribeca Festival in NYC. The 41-year-old songstress, who was first linked to the former Prime Minister of Canada last year, was supported by Trudeau at the screening of Katy Perry The Lifetimes Tour - Live From Paris during the festivities. During a question-and-answer session after the screening, Perry confessed that Trudeau was the 'love of my life.' While speaking about the shows featured in the concert film, and whether she considered herself the same person at the end of the 91-date tour, the hitmaker noted that she and Trudeau were already an item at the time of the performances in November 2025. 'I would say now at the end of 91 shows, I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life. I am very in love,' she confessed. 'Actually, that show was after I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that, because I'm a little bit like a rainbow kite.
'I fly super high and like touch the veiled cosmos, and sometimes I need to be anchored, so to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now,' Perry added. . 'It was amazing,' she said of the experience. 'I think as mothers and fathers, we're just modeling something to our children, and all we can hope for is that they will grow up into better versions of ourselves and themselves, right?
'And so, I think if I'm out there living my most authentic, free, supported, empowered, smart, sexy life, she's going to have a pattern to follow, a model to follow. And so any parent, I think, that can actually do that, I think it's really valuable to bring your kids to work,' she added. She also joked about how Daisy had just FaceTimed her to ask her to get tickets for them to attend the World Cup 'She's a force. She tells me exactly what she thinks,' Perry said.
She also alluded to the difficult year she was in the midst of at the time of her concert film shoot due to her separation from Bloom. Perry was asked how she managed to go on stage for her intricate shows even when she was gripped by sorrow for her failed relationship. 'It's like sadness doesn't discriminate. Grief does not discriminate. Pain does not discriminate. Everybody is subjected to it in their own ways,' she said. 'And last year was probably one of the hardest years of my life, and I went through a f*** ton, and there were days that were really, really, really, really hard, and I just kept going because I made a promise to my fans. I made a promise to my daughter. I made a promise to myself, and I got through it.
'I walked through the fire because everybody has to walk through their own fire, and if you're walking through hell, you keep going because on the other side of hell is definitely heaven,' Perry continued. 'It was the most successful tour of my life, though, because it's all about how you measure success.' The Firework singer looked radiant at the premiere in a sleeveless white dress that contained ruched details around the waist and fell down past her ankles.
Perry slipped into a pair of closed-toed, white heels and styled her locks into a chic updo. . Trudeau, 54, was dressed for the special occasion in a classic black suit as well as a white dress shirt. . . At one point, the couple shared a lighthearted laugh which caused the singer to lay her hand on his chest in an affectionate gesture. . . . Perry's documentary concert film had its official premiere at the Tribeca Festival, which kicked off last week.
The project 'blends powerhouse performances, exhilarating cinematography, and intimate moments to bring audiences into the spectacular world of this creative artist,' per an official description on the festival website. The film itself will show moments that were recorded last year in November during her shows in Paris at the Accor Arena. The Lifetimes Tour kicked off last year and raked in around $134 million with over 1 million tickets sold. And to help her celebrate the screening of her concert film, Trudeau was by the singer's side to offer support.
. Later that month, the former Prime Minister was spotted in the crowd at one of her Lifetimes Tour concerts. In October 2025, the couple went public with their romance as they held hands during a night out in Paris to celebrate Perry's 41st birthday. The following month, it was said that Perry is 'having a lot of fun' with Trudeau amid their new relationship. 'Justin keeps making a big effort to see her and she's excited about it. [She has] a lot of fun with him. It's exactly what she needs right now,' a source told People at the time.
The politician is also 'happier' since being romantically linked to Perry. 'Stresses are greatly diminished. And he is intrigued with Katy. They have fun together, laugh a lot, talk about everything.' And late last year in December, the couple went Instagram official as the songstress shared a post featuring her beau from their trip to Tokyo. Back in February, a separate source told the Daily Mail that the pair's 'relationship is going great.'
'Nobody actually believed it was ever going to be a thing, and now that it is, everyone wants them to get married and have children.' Trudeau has since made more appearances on her Instagram page, and the couple spent time at the Coachella Music Festival in April. In June of last year, it was revealed that Perry had officially separated from Orlando Bloom. The exes are parents to daughter Daisy, five.
The former prime minister of Canada also split from wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in 2023 following 18 years of marriage and welcoming three children together. And during the screening of her concert film at the festival on Monday, Perry had the chance to share a lighthearted moment with other attendees. According to an eyewitness, the movie suddenly cut off, and Perry began to sing and dance to her hit tracks still playing inside. Others joined in as they belted out lyrics and were also seen jumping to their feet, while some whipped out their phones to film the moment.
