Pop star Katy Perry has spoken candidly about her relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, describing him as the most supportive partner she has had. Perry made the remarks during a special screening of her new concert film, *Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris*, which is set for release in select cinemas on September 2.
Perry revealed that her 2010 hit "The One That Got Away," a song that has recently resurged in streaming popularity, no longer reflects her current romantic life. Instead, she attributed the inspiration of another track, "Not Like The Movies," to their relationship, calling the experience "weird, full-circle, mystical, magical."
The couple’s relationship became public after Trudeau attended one of Perry’s Lifetimes tour shows in Montreal on July 30, 2025. This appearance followed by two days images of the pair sharing a private walk through the city fueled dating speculation. Perry confirmed the latter was the day they officially began their relationship, which started shortly after she ended a nine-year relationship with actor Orlando Bloom.
Reflecting on the period before their romance, Perry described it as a difficult time, saying she had endured “the lowest part” during her tour while also coping with being away from home for extended periods. She noted that traveling across continents for her tour meant experiencing three consecutive winters, contributing to her feelings of sadness and isolation.
Perry remarked that after this challenging phase, her personal life took a positive turn, using the metaphor of a rainbow following a hurricane to describe the change. She emphasized that Trudeau’s presence elevated her support system, presenting their connection as unlike any she had previously known.
The concert film offers fans a closer look at Perry’s career and personal reflections, coinciding with the renewed public interest in both her music and personal life.
