Cheat the Week: Perry and Trudeau’s kiss fuels romance rumours

“What brought Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry together — logistically and spiritually — is unclear,” writes Polly Vernon. “We can but speculate wildly about where exactly their eyes first met, whether the attraction was immediate, who said what first to whom and who then made the first move? That their celebrity traverses milieux— the pop and the political — adds to their appeal, making the liaison seem more authentic in its lack of predictability. Or maybe we like it because it gives us hope that something hilarious and unlikely might yet knock us off our feet, too. But long-ish may it last! It’s such fantastically good, semi-clean fun. Potent and jolly and sexy and inconsequential. I am not sure we have ever needed such yachty gropey levity more.”
