Perry, a California native from Santa Barbara, wore a long silver sequin gown that looked more like the Stanley Cup than the gold-plated World Cup trophy as she performed her song Wonder during pregame performances. After, she was seen scurrying off the field straight to Trudeau\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n
As part of her attire, she wore a pin of the Canadian and U.S. flags side-by-side.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee this little thing right here,\u201d she said in an Instagram video<\/a>, gesturing toward the pin and winking before walking away to take Trudeau\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not just a pin, it\u2019s a lifestyle,\u201d she turned to add.<\/p>\n Katy Perry wore a Canada-U.S. flag pin during her performance at the L.A. 2026 FIFA World Cup opener on Friday night in Inglewood, Calif.<\/p>\n She also stuck the pin through one of her earring holes at one point.<\/p>\n The pair were later spotted in one of the luxury suites during the first half of the match, both standing to applaud as the U.S. scored three goals. (They would go on to win 4-1.)<\/p>\n Canada\u2019s game began at 3 p.m. EST, while the U.S. played at 9 p.m. EST.<\/p>\n Also missing from Canada\u2019s opener Friday was Prime Minister Mark Carney, who had already left on a previously scheduled trip to Europe ahead of next week\u2019s G7 summit in France.<\/p>\n \u201cAll of Canada is with you \u2014 to the final whistle,\u201d he wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n Representing federal officials were Adam Van Koeverden, Canada\u2019s Secretary of Sport, Minister of Finance Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne<\/a>, and new Governor General Louise Arbour.<\/p>\n Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wished the men\u2019s side luck on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe whole country is cheering you on.

After months of speculation and sightings, the pair made it official when they were seen leaving a Paris cabaret show in October.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the second time this week Perry and Trudeau\u2019s appearance together made headlines, the first coming Monday night in New York City, where they attended the premiere of her Lifetimes Tour movie at the Tribeca Film Festival.<\/p>\n In what\u2019s billed as their first red-carpet appearance as a couple, Perry and Trudeau were full of smiles and public displays of affection.<\/p>\n In one of the edited videos circulating online, Trudeau moves in close, puts his arm around Perry and locks eyes with her as they pose for paparazzi photos, looking into her eyes.<\/p>\n When he places his right hand on her stomach, she immediately moves it away, leaving Trudeau to pull back and smile sheepishly to the cameras.<\/p>\n The perspective changes to show the couple from the red carpet up, with Perry\u2019s hand on his chest and Trudeau\u2019s hand firmly resting on her behind, and he proceeds to give his partner another smouldering gaze.<\/p>\n In a red-carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, Trudeau said he\u2019s already seen the show three times, \u201cbut really wasn\u2019t paying attention to anything but Katy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019m looking forward to seeing the show now for the first time,\u201d he said with a laugh.<\/p>\n During the Q\u2019n\u2019A portion of the screening, Perry told the audience she is \u201cvery in love,\u201d per ENews.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cActually, that show,\u201d she said, referring to the Paris performances that comprise the film, \u201cwas after I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a special night.
