In a revelation that's raising eyebrows across both entertainment and political circles, global pop icon Katy Perry has confessed to being repeatedly 'ghosted' by none other than Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The awkward admission came during Perry's recent appearance on the popular podcast 'What Now? with Trevor Noah', where the conversation took an unexpected turn toward international diplomacy - or rather, the lack thereof.
The Charity Performance That Started It All
The unlikely pairing dates back to 2015, when the 'Firework' singer and the charismatic world leader shared the stage for a memorable charity event. Their duet of The Beatles' classic 'With a Little Help from My Friends' was meant to raise funds for a good cause, but it apparently didn't lead to the lasting friendship one might expect.
'We did this whole thing together, it was for charity,' Perry recalled during the podcast interview. 'I was like, "This is my friend, the PM!" But then... nothing.'
The Digital Cold Shoulder
What makes the situation particularly modern - and painful - is the digital nature of the snub. Perry revealed that despite exchanging contact information and following each other on social media platforms, her attempts at communication have been met with complete radio silence.
'I'll send a message, maybe tag him in something thoughtful, and... crickets,' the Grammy-nominated artist confessed, adding that this pattern has persisted for nearly a decade since their initial meeting.
Political Protocol or Personal Snub?
The situation raises interesting questions about the intersection of celebrity culture and political diplomacy. While world leaders often maintain careful boundaries in their personal communications, Perry's comments suggest she expected at least some level of ongoing connection after their high-profile collaboration.
The revelation comes at an interesting time for both figures - Perry is preparing for new musical releases while Trudeau faces ongoing political challenges in Canada's political landscape.
Whether this constitutes a genuine diplomatic faux pas or simply reflects the realities of a world leader's busy schedule remains unclear. What's certain is that in the world of celebrity confessions, this one strikes a particularly relatable chord for anyone who's ever been left on 'read'.
