The world was shocked when former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau got a divorce from his longtime wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. But everyone was even more shocked when he began dating pop star Katy Perry. Many were happy for the couple, who seemed absolutely head-over-heels in love with each other. Unfortunately, both Trudeau and Perry have their own legions of haters. Once they got together, these legions joined together and began posting the most hateful comments on this couple’s social media posts.
However, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau didn’t get mad…they got even! Not only did they continue to post on social media, but their images got more and more pointed. It really seemed like they were using every opportunity to stunt and flex on their haters to show just how happy in love they really are. What were the most hilarious times this power couple put the haters in their place? Keep reading to find out!
One major appearance after another
One common argument from Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s haters is that (to be blunt) he’s too good for her. After all, he’s the former leader of one of the most influential sovereign nations in the world, and she’s the pop star who got famous for singing songs like “Teenage Dream.” According to these haters, Trudeau is just rebounding from his divorce in a public way, and he would be happy to keep her from being overly enmeshed in his globe-trotting lifestyle.
However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. As former Canadian PM, Trudeau still wields immense international influence, and when he makes major trips, he seemingly always takes Perry with him. For example, in late December 2025, Trudeau met with one of his peers: former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Who was there in a picture that took social media by storm? Katy Perry, of course! Later, Trudeau went to the World Economic Forum at Davos, and not only did he make Perry his plus one, but they found the time to post yet another adorable picture!

Making jokes about their age gap
Haters of Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau usually find low-hanging fruit to complain about. For example, they often claim that the age gap between the couple (she’s 41 and he’s 54) is problematic. It’s a crazy argument, of course, but it’s one that the haters love to cling to because let’s face it: what else are they going to do with their spiteful lives?
Hilariously, the couple found a fun way to subtly put their biggest critics in their place. In March 2026, Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry took one of those online quizzes that tells you your biological age, which may be very different from your actual age. They posted an image of the results, showing that Perry’s biological age is 33 and Trudeau’s is 41. Not only does this emphasize that each person is (biologically speaking) younger than we might think, but that Trudeau (whom haters try to paint as a dirty old man) is a full 13 biological years younger than his actual age. Nicely done!
Katy is a karma girlie
When Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry cast shade on their critics, they usually do so in a subtle way. In the example above, they are dunking on their haters, but to everyone else, it seems like they were just sharing the results of a silly app. Sometimes, though, Perry likes to get a little more direct in her criticisms. In April 2026, she posted a downright adorable image of herself in a loving embrace with Trudeau. Both of them look so hot here that it’s easy for fans to overlook the caption that she added.
“Never knew karma could be so rewarding,” she wrote. What does this mean, exactly? To us, it seems clear that she is casting some shade on the people who told her that karma was going to do her dirty. With this caption and smoking picture, Perry sent a simple message: karma is treating her just fine, thank you very much!

Rocking out like teenagers
Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry go to all kinds of events together, not just boring diplomatic trips. For example, they went to Coachella this year and rocked out to some of the most popular musicians in the world. While plenty of older fans go to shows like this, Coachella has a reputation for being a young person’s game. And to our absolute delight, this power couple decided to lean into the vibe with a teenager-like wardrobe!
She wore a white shirt, black skirt, and black boots…pretty much the standard “teenage girl headed to her first rock show” ensemble. As for Trudeau, he kept things ultra casual with jeans, a t-shirt, and a backwards cap! Many people made fun of the former Prime Minister and Perry for not acting their age. To us, though, this was the ultimate flex: they wore what they wanted, still looked hot, and showed the world they didn’t care what anybody else thought about them!
