Overview
- A video posted on Xavier Trudeau’s Instagram shows former prime minister Justin Trudeau and singer Katy Perry dancing down the aisles of a Home Hardware in Montreal while Xavier’s track “DOWNTOWN” plays.
- Katy Perry filmed the clip and Xavier shared it as a reaction video for his new single, urging fans to post their own videos using the song.
- The post went viral and drew largely lighthearted coverage that ranged from affectionate to mocking descriptions of the couple’s dancing.
- Multiple outlets reproduced the clip but reported different basic facts, most notably inconsistent accounts of Xavier’s age (some stories said 18, others 23).
- The moment builds on Xavier’s 2025 push into music and the public Trudeau–Perry relationship and underscores how celebrity family life is now routinely repurposed for cross-promotion on social platforms.
