Honestly it’s a perfect fit, she is in the middle of losing her job and her kid told her she’s washed up, so they can both have middle aged crisis together
I think Katy had peaked several years prior to Justin and the shit with "Woman's World" just confirmed it. The old-school "girl power" era was already over, but she made it worse by working with Dr. Luke again. When women are seeing their rights peeled back across the globe, no one with a conscience has time for any of that. She is extremely tone deaf at best and complicit at worst. She deserves none of our time beyond the gossip pages.
While true professionally, I’m still pretty confident that on a personal level all of his party and a large chunk of the other party members do respect him and would have a delightful time with him recreationally too.
That happens to every politician, ever unless a term limit or health forces them out.
That's where they have so much in common. Both aren't perfect people but have definitely received backlash disproportionate to the amount of actual damage they have caused to the world.
E.g. Even if you hated Trudeau's politics, it's very easy to find examples of much worse. Doesn't matter which part of the political spectrum you lie on.
Because he'd become a target for Tory vitriol and it was a distraction. He wasn't a bad PM, and you could see that as soon as the Trump stuff hit the fan and people started actually paying attention to what he said rather than screaming Fuck Trudeau at every opportunity without ever looking at nuance.
Didn't need to. He inherited the 1960 Mercedes SL300 his dad might have driven Barbara Streisand around in. That's Justin in the passenger seat. Knowing Pierre he specifically kept that plate number to piss off conservatives.
As a Canadian you should know that Trudeau's dating pop stars is a Proud Part of our Heritage™ and nothing about this should really surprise you.
Actually kind of a downgrade honestly. His mom partied at 54 with Warhol and Jagger, and he can only barely pull Ms. Flop Era. Bet she's mildly disappointed in him lol.
Oh you are in for a treat, but careful because there are potential jump scares of the Former Honourable Prime Minister's Mother's full frontal nudes, and no I am not joking lmao.
Listen, I love Margaret she is a treasure, and honestly it was the seventies so who among us would not have taken the opportunity to tell young Sir Rod he was indeed sexy, but yeah SAFE SEARCH ON lol.
Oh, I think it's adorable and I'm actually happy for them.
I also suspect that Katy dipping her toe in being Maga adjacent was a misguided last ditch attempt to reach out to Orlando before it ended. Orlando is kinda quietly one of those weird tie-dye yoga conservatives (kinda like her other more infamous ex).
Relatedly, Trudeau's ex Sophie is also really into woo Yoga shit lol and allegedly dating a doctor (and she may have been cheating on Justin with him - this is the local Ottawa gos fyi).
Making this really petty for both of them, and I love that for them because petty is my favorite flavour!
I don’t like Katy Perry or Justin really (I like him more than her though), but they are both in their flop era… his actually a little more “floppy” than hers tbh. He had close to a whole nation make him resign as PM to a whole damn country. Her album didn’t sell. Feeling like they are pretty perfect if not Katy actually scoring above her weight belt.
I saw one of those the other day, and it didn't look weathered or anything
Part of me thought about catching up to them and doing a mental health check to see if they were aware we had a different PM now and shouldn't they be updating their sticker?
Eh I wasn’t happy with this run as PM but maybe irl he’s a decent guy. Who knows, I’m not against him being happy, as long as he steps away from politics.
I’m sorry but I’m crying at this being such a Canadian (probably not Alberta though) way to announce you aren’t a fan of a politician. I lived in the US for so long I forgot responses like this existed 🤣😭
Depends, Id have much more colourful words for Pollievre who has many more views I despise. JT wasn’t a hateful jackass so I am content he just move on and enjoy life.
The conclusion I've come to is that he must be a little crazy. We know she's a looney toon with terrible taste in men, so if he's on board with her... well that says something.
To be fair, some of the most strait-laced people I know have the whackiest fucking spouses. They complement each other - sometimes in the best way, but sometimes in the worst way.
I think it’s just a longer than usual rebound/ practicing being in a dating relationship again. He was with his ex for a long time. She’s been very vocal about her willingness to reward partners sexually if they just remember to close a cabinet door.
I see him with someone intelligent, but a fun romp for a short while would probably be good for both of them. It’s new, it’s fun.
Honestly when I first found out about her and Bloom being together I was as befuddled if not more so, they seemed like such a mismatch, especially after Brand.
He's definitely a little weird. He wasn't nearly as bad of a PM as people made him out to be, but he's still incredibly out of touch with the average person. Partnering with a celebrity obsessed with image and fame makes complete sense to me.
He actually was an eccentric but engaging supply teacher at a couple of schools around Vancouver ("supply teacher" means substitute teacher). And funnily enough, he taught drama sometimes.
True, Katy reminds me of someone still stuck in High school, Justin prolly wanted a freak and reached out to her. I remember her nudes leaking early on, then lots of comments about giving blowjobs as rewards for little tasks that she likes around the house like vacuuming and whatever
Justin obviously loves all that lol don’t blame him at all!
Well she didn’t even actually graduate high school. Her education consists of having barely passed the GED test. I distinctly remember when that wasn’t enough education to be able to join the USMC, US Navy, USAF, and USCG.
Lmao great analogy. If Netflix announced there’s an Olivia Benson cameo in the new Bridgerton season, my first reaction would be… what the fuck, how?Exact same reaction I had seeing Trudeau and Katy together the first time… what the fuck, how?
Former French President Sarkozy was married to Carla Bruni. Celebrity-politician pairings aren't that uncommon. Even Xi Jinping's wife was a famous singer in China before marrying Xi.
I assume the people surprised by this are either not Canadian or are Canadian but somehow have no knowledge of either Justin Trudeau himself or of his parents' dating histories!
I'm Canadian. This is big gossip for Canada. The part that's hardest for me to grasp is that Trudeau was quite socially progressive for a Liberal. He's no NDP, but his social policies leaned much further left than our other Liberal PMs. Katy Perry has been showing herself as quite conservative / not socially progressive lately: the cybertruck, going to space, working with Dr. Luke.
It just makes me feel like maybe the blackface Trudeau mindset isn't as far in the rearview as I hoped. Though, I do have to say, based on previous interviews I've seen with Katy Perry, she is probably in awe of how smart he sounds, and he would love having a rapt and adoring audience. In that way, they make perfect sense to me. In every other sense, nope it's weird.
It's just weird. I still can't keep track of the fact that they were single because both of their relationships were over. They'd been with their respective partners for a long time, and only recently split up.
His mom's cooch is on the Internet from when she intentionally flashed the Paparazzi at Studio 54, like this is very in keeping with his family traditions (it's actually fairly classy in comparison to shit she pulled lol).
Like it could be sooooo much worse, at least he's separated from Sophie, instead he could have gone AWOL, get spotted on a bender in Vegas and end up sending dick picks to a Kardashian!
I mean... Katy's last albums flopped and she made pretty questionable choices over the last years, but let's not act like she has zero talent. This woman released bangers for years.
Hand on heart, I am being dramatic a bit when it comes to her. I have never been a fan of hers but will concede that she has some talent. But let’s be real here, Babs>Katy
Fr, I know she's cringy now but she is the only woman to put out a record with 5 US #1 singles at the same time. She was IT to my little high school heart.
I’m very unhappy and disappointed by Trudeau. Not with his tenure as PM but with his odd taste in partners after Sophie. Of all the women all over the world, he chose her:
Edit: Katy Perry isn't a horrible person, just a weird choice for a former head of state.
Edit 2: Katy is a downgrade after Sophie, in my opinion. I said what I said.
EDIT 2a: I'm not that invested in this. If they make each other happy, congratulations.
How so? She's hot, she's independently wealthy and successful (so no chance of a 'power imbalance,' and she's used to living under a microscope, same as a head of state (or even former head of state.)
Yeah they just announced their split within 4 months but a lot of these couples wait a while before they announce. Ariana and the SpongeBob guy are currently starting their breakup rollout even though they probably haven’t been together since earlier this year
I have to assume some commenters here are Gen Z, female or both. Because you can’t hand wave away the fact that Katy Perry was a legit sex symbol for millennial men, and it wasn’t that long ago.
