Katy Perry is all in on Justin Trudeau.

The couple have been dating for close to a year, having first sparked romance rumors when they were spotted together back in July 2025.

On Monday, June 8, the former Canadian prime minister supported the "Teenage Dream" singer at the premiere of her Lifetimes Tour concert film at the TriBeCa Film Festival, where she couldn't help but declare her love for her new beau.

Speaking at the screening of the new film, which marked Katy and Justin's red carpet debut, Katy declared: "I am very in love," revealing: "Actually that show was after I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that."

"Because I'm a little bit like a rainbow kite," she continued, explaining: "I fly super high and like, you know, touch the veil, cosmos, and sometimes I need to be anchored. So, to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now."

"Every day is a fantastic journey, and every day is a chance to evolve," she further shared. "And to be a better person and do the right thing and to be a model for your community, for your family, for your world."

"I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life," she added, before reflecting on the year leading up to meeting Justin, which she called " one of the hardest" of her life.

"I went through a [expletive] ton, and there were days that were really, really, really, really hard,” she said. "And I just kept going 'cause I made a promise to my fans. I made a promise to my daughter. I made a promise to myself. And I got through it."

Katy was in a relationship with ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom from 2016 until 2025, and they share daughter Daisy Dove, who is five years old.

"I walked through the fire because everybody has to walk through their own fire, and if you're walking through hell, you keep going because on the other side of hell is definitely heaven," Katy maintained.

Lastly reflecting on how she has evolved over the decades she shared with the audience: "Your 20s are for emotions. Your 30s are for sorting them, and your 40s are for [expletive] not caring about those emotions and turning them into gasoline, finally transmuting all those emotions into a creative something."

She emphasized: "We're all human here and it doesn't matter. It's like sadness doesn't discriminate, grief does not discriminate, pain does not discriminate, everybody is subjected to it in their own ways."
