Perry captioned the clip with a playful reference to ancient texts promising 1,000 years of good luck for those who hop along.
This is not the first time Trudeau has supported Perry’s career. In June, he skipped Canada's World Cup opening match against Bosnia and Herzegovina to attend a U.S. vs Paraguay game in order to cheer on Perry during her performance. He justified his absence by stating that ‘supportive boyfriend duties call’. “Sometimes supportive boyfriend duties call,” he wrote on X at the time.

The couple made their red carpet debut together at Perry's Lifetimes Tour concert film premiere in June. During a Q&A session, Perry expressed her feelings for Trudeau, calling him ‘the love of my life’ and stating that she feels ‘really whole’ with his support.
The video has garnered attention from fans and fellow celebrities alike, highlighting the unique relationship between the politician and the pop star. It also serves as an example of how public figures can collaborate in creative ways to promote their personal projects without compromising on their professional or political commitments.
Perry’s new single 'Watch It Burn' was released on June 25 and debuted at No. 38 on Billboard's Adult Pop Airplay chart. With a total of 36 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including nine No. 1s, Perry continues to maintain her status as a prominent figure in the music industry.
The TikTok video not only entertains but also reinforces the strong bond between Perry and Trudeau, showcasing their mutual support and affection for each other’s work.
