Social media users flooded the comment section with reactions like “This is so cute,” “They look lovely together,” and “We really won now.” Several others described the moment as “wholesome” and “unexpectedly charming” given the seriousness of the forum.
Why Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Were at Davos
Beyond the viral moment, both Perry and Trudeau were in Davos for serious global engagement.
Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the summit as a global political figure and speaker, where he delivered a speech emphasising the importance of “soft power” in modern diplomacy. He highlighted how culture, dialogue, and shared values can be as influential as military or economic strength in addressing challenges like climate change, economic inequality, and geopolitical tensions.
Katy Perry accompanied Trudeau as his partner and was seen supporting him during multiple sessions, including at the Female Quotient lounge, where she reportedly slipped in to listen to his address. Her presence added a strong cultural and celebrity dimension to Trudeau’s diplomatic messaging.

Apart from the wink video, several photographs from the summit show Perry and Trudeau holding hands while leaving a session, further fuelling curiosity around their relationship and their growing appearances together at international platforms.
Their presence stood out not just for their star power but also for blending entertainment and diplomacy at one of the world’s most influential political and economic gatherings.

She was seen wearing a taupe knitted cardigan with a scoop neckline and subtly puffed sleeves, paired with a matching midi skirt, a look many fans described as “graceful” and “effortlessly classy.”
