Justin Trudeau cameo in Katy Perry's 'Watch It Burn' video goes viral
Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a brief dancing cameo in pop star Katy Perry’s new music video and TikTok promotion for her single “Watch It Burn,” released in June 2026. The appearance, lasting only a few seconds, showed Trudeau hopping and turning to the beat, prompting thousands of memes, comments and shared reactions across social media platforms. Fans noted the video’s caption that read, “ancient texts say that if you hop to this song you will get 1,000 years of good luck.”
The cameo comes as the couple, who began dating publicly in 2025 after both ended previous relationships, have been spotted together at events in Montreal, Paris, Coachella and other high‑profile venues. Their relationship has drawn additional media attention, but the viral video itself is being discussed primarily as an entertaining promotional stunt rather than a political development.
