Coachella is known for its high-profile sightings, but few drew as much attention this year as Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The pair, who first confirmed their relationship in December, spent April 11 navigating the festival grounds like any other couple.
Perry, 41, kept her festival aesthetic practical, pairing a white tee and matching shorts with combat boots and a drawstring bag. Trudeau, 54, opted for a low-key California look, sporting jeans, a classic white tee, and a navy baseball cap. They looked relaxed, clearly comfortable letting their guard down in the desert heat.
Fans got a peek into the evening via Perry’s Instagram, which featured a series of candid moments. In one shot, the couple walked hand-in-hand through the crowds; in another, they were caught mid-bite while relaxing on a rock. It’s a side of the former politician we rarely see, trading policy for palm trees and live music.
The highlight for many was a video posted by the singer, capturing them swaying together with red solo cups in hand. They were filmed singing along to Justin Bieber’s performance of “Speed Demon,” appearing completely absorbed in the music and each other.
It’s a quiet, albeit high-profile, evolution for the singer. Perry, who is mother to 4-year-old Daisy Dove Bloom, seems to be enjoying a new chapter. For now, the duo appears to be keeping things casual, fully embracing the festival spirit.
