MONTREAL - Justin Trudeau was spotted in the crowd at Katy Perry’s concert in Montreal on Wednesday night, days after duo dined together in the city.
The appearance continued to fuel speculation about a possible relationship between the former prime minister and U.S. pop star, who had dinner at a Plateau restaurant on Monday.
The concert sighting took over social media with one video posted online showing Trudeau clapping and nodding his head as the “Firework†singer commanded the stage.
Perry recently split from longtime partner and actor Orlando Bloom and is in the midst of a Canadian leg for her Lifetimes tour, which lands in Quebec City on Friday and in Toronto on Tuesday and Wednesday.
A communications consultant for the Montreal restaurant Le Violon told °µÍø½ûÇø that Trudeau and Perry spent about two hours at the fine-dining spot Monday evening.
Samantha Jin said the pair were very polite and chatted with the kitchen staff after, but mostly kept to themselves.Â
“We kind of got the vibe that they were a little more chill," she said, adding there were “no visual signs of PDA."
Celebrity site TMZ, which posted video of Trudeau and Perry in animated conversation at the eatery, also posted video of the two leaving a Montreal bar later that evening.
Neither camp has responded to requests for comment.
