It’s been a messy start to the year in gossip with personal and professional family fractures all over the place. So we are grateful that one of the most delightful things to happen to gossip in 2025 is still a thing in 2026 – Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, the best corn cheese since Koreans made it awesome. If you haven’t had Korean corn cheese, please put this on your list of things to do this year.

There were some rumours floating around a few days ago that Katy and JT were no more, didn’t sound legit to me so I ignored them, and wouldn’t you know, they took the first opportunity to shut that sh-t down by showing up at the World Economic Forum in Davos today.

We don’t need to talk about the “official” reason they were there. For the purposes of this website, we only care about the unofficial-but-just-as-important-to-them motivations… which is to present themselves as a couple on the international stage.

Like, look at them, they are preening and it’s perfect. 

Perfect because, well, this is an unserious event that pretends to be the most serious event and…well… if there ever was a poster couple for seriously unserious, it would be Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, LOL forever. I’m not saying he doesn’t understand serious issues but there is also the performance of seriousness that has accompanied his image over the last few years and you could say the same about Katy. This is why, in addition to how corny they both are, they make so much sense.

No one loves it more than they do that they’re the power couple of Davos 2026. He gets to flaunt the popstar on his arm in front of all these obscenely wealthy (mostly) men and politicians, smugly absorbing their envy, and she gets to say that she was in the room with powerful decision-makers on the arm of a (tall and handsome) dignitary. And obviously they were paying very close attention to everything that was being said because they were there to learn and listen and had no other motivations.

Hopefully just the beginning of what will be corny cheesy abundance in 2026. We’re probably going to need it.
