Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau participated in the Global Soft Power Summit, part of the World Economic Forum, on 20/1 in Davos, Switzerland. Their attendance marked a significant public outing for the couple.

According to People, the two held hands while seated in the front row at the event. The singer listened intently to the former Canadian prime minister's speech, in which he recounted a recent date with an American woman at a rooftop bar in Montreal, Canada. Several international news outlets, including Instyle, suggested he was referring to Katy Perry during his remarks.

This marked their first appearance at a major event as a couple since they went public with their relationship in October 2025, which coincided with Katy Perry's 41st birthday. The couple was rumored to be dating since late July of the same year, after paparazzi spotted them dining together at a restaurant in Montreal. She began her relationship with Trudeau after calling off her engagement to long-time boyfriend, actor Orlando Bloom, in June 2025.

Since making their relationship public, Katy Perry has occasionally posted photos with her partner on Instagram. In early January, the singer shared a series of images capturing cherished memories from the recent Christmas holiday, including a picture of her kissing her partner's cheek by the beach. Previously, she also posted numerous photos and videos of their dates in Tokyo, Japan, in early December 2025. During this trip, Justin Trudeau and his girlfriend also visited former Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida and his wife.
