Katy Perry Holds Hands with Justin Trudeau at the World Economic Forum, Igniting Online Stir

The American pop star and the former Canadian prime minister arrived together in Davos, where her appearance sparked buzz about her looking pregnant or unwell.

The World Economic Forum typically draws headlines for its high-level policy talks and global power players. But on January 20, 2026, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau stole the spotlight.

The pair arrived hand-in-hand in Davos, Switzerland, a striking contrast to the summit’s usual cast of suited dignitaries and CEOs. Their unexpected entrance immediately sparked conversation.

Perry, dressed in a beige buttoned dress, was later seen seated in the front row during Trudeau's appearance. Photos of the two walking together quickly spread across social media and were picked up by major entertainment and news outlets.

One Instagram post from Page Six referred to Trudeau as Perry's "boyfriend," drawing even more attention to the pairing and triggering a wave of online speculation.

On Facebook, commenters zeroed in on Perry's appearance, with one writing, "She looks pregnant." Another asked, "Is she pregnant??" A third added, "She appears to have a 'bump'. ??" Someone else shifted focus to her styling, "Omg she dress like a first lady 😁😁."

On Instagram, reactions ranged from surprise to concern and advice, with one commenter posting, "She different. 😯😯😂❤️🔥" Another observed, "She looks so sickly is she ok ?!"

A longer response questioned her comfort and encouraged her to stay true to herself: "She doesn't look comfortable in those clothes at all 😔 she shouldn't have to change her style... don't change for anybody ❤️"

The unexpected appearance of a pop star and a former world leader added a celebrity twist to the traditionally reserved forum, catching many off guard.
