Katy Perry, Justin Trudeau Make Red-Carpet Debut at 2026 Tribeca Premiere

Q: Why did Katy Perry's film premiere at Tribeca if it wasn't on the festival's official lineup?

It appears the premise is mistaken: Katy Perry’s concert film did premiere at Tribeca as an official festival event. While some widely circulated lineup summaries did not include *Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live In Paris*, reporting from Billboard said the film was part of Tribeca’s 2026 program and screened June 8 at the OKX Theater at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center. Perry also took part in a post-screening conversation, which is consistent with a formally scheduled festival presentation. The confusion likely comes from the way Tribeca publicized its programming. The festival announced a large core slate of feature films and shorts, but it also runs special presentations and event-style screenings that may not appear in every condensed lineup article or press summary. Tribeca regularly includes music-driven premieres, conversations, and one-night events alongside its competition and spotlight titles. So the film did not premiere at Tribeca “despite” being off the lineup; rather, it was included in the festival’s broader schedule, even if it was omitted from some official roundup materials or secondary reports.

Trudeau, 54, and Perry, 41, had shared earlier hints of the relationship, but the Tribeca outing was their clearest joint public appearance yet.
