Katy Perry Answers Mock 'JPJT' Call and Snubs Exes on Stage

The theatrical bit signaled Perry's support for Justin Trudeau by having her accept a prop phone call labeled JPJT during a festival performance.

Overview

  • Fan-shot video from Perry’s June 18 performance at the O Son do Camiño festival in Santiago de Compostela shows her using a giant prop iPhone while singing Never Really Over.
  • The phone graphic displayed incoming calls labeled with initials and names widely read as John Mayer, Russell Brand, Orlando Bloom and Diplo, which Perry ignored before answering a call shown as "JPJT."
  • Outlets and social posts interpreted the green-lit JPJT call as a direct nod to Justin Pierre James Trudeau and a public reaffirmation of Perry’s reported romance with him.
  • Coverage has been driven by clips posted on X and then amplified by entertainment outlets, with no separate statement from Perry clarifying the moment beyond the performance itself.
  • The stunt ties into Perry’s recent comments about feeling transformed by her current relationship and comes against the backdrop of her 2025 split from Orlando Bloom and ongoing co-parenting of their daughter.
