Katy Perry Accepts Justin Trudeau Call After Rejecting 3 Exes at Spain Concert

Q: How did a whirlwind romance with a former world leader influence Katy Perry's upcoming new music?

Katy Perry’s romance with Justin Trudeau appears to have shaped her new music less as a direct love story than as the emotional stability behind a more defiant, self-possessed era. Perry has said Trudeau makes her feel “grounded,” “whole,” and like she has found “the love of my life” after what she described as one of the hardest years of her life following her 2025 split from Orlando Bloom. That sense of security seems to have given her a steadier emotional base as she returned to writing and recording. At the same time, her upcoming single, “Watch It Burn,” is tied to the pain and anger of that difficult period rather than simply to new romance. Perry has described the song as giving herself “permission to be angry” about her “annus horribilis” in 2025, adding that it signals “my roar is back.” In that sense, the Trudeau relationship influenced the music by helping her feel anchored enough to process heartbreak and turn it into something forceful and creative. So the effect was indirect but significant: Trudeau did not just inspire romantic material, he helped create the emotional conditions for Perry to channel a turbulent year into resilient, empowered new music. “Watch It Burn” appears to reflect that transition from personal upheaval to renewed confidence.

At Santiago de Compostela’s O Son do Camiño festival, Katy Perry ended “Never Really Over” by pressing “Accept” on a giant phone prop showing a call from “JPJT” — interpreted as Justin Trudeau.
The staged bit first showed calls from three exes — Diplo, John Mayer and Orlando Bloom — which Perry declined or ignored with exaggerated gestures before turning to the Trudeau reveal.
The onstage moment underscored a relationship that first drew attention after a July 2025 dinner in Montreal, then became public in December 2025.
Earlier this month, Perry and the former Canadian prime minister made their red-carpet debut at the Tribeca Festival, and she told People she was “very in love” and felt newly grounded.
The concert nod also followed a public split from Bloom in June 2025 after nearly a decade together and came days after Perry and Trudeau were photographed kissing on a Santa Barbara picnic.
