The pair travelled to Tokyo in early December 2025, as part of Katy Perry’s Asia leg of her Lifetimes Tour. While there, they didn’t just stay under the radar — they made big, public moves together. On December 3, they joined former Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko, for a lunch — a meeting that was shared publicly on social media by Kishida. He described Katy Perry as Trudeau’s “partner.” For the lunch, Perry chose a more subdued, “diplomatic-style” outfit: a tailored two-piece in green paired with black tights, a turtleneck and boots.
Trudeau wore a grey suit — a departure from the usual paparazzi snapshots of celebrity vacations. The post — widely interpreted as officially announcing their romance — marked the first time they’ve shared such intimate, personal content publicly as a couple. This is widely seen as their first joint “diplomatic-style” appearance, mixing the spheres of celebrity and global politics. A celebrity pop-star meeting with a former head of government in a formal setting naturally grabbed global media’s attention.
