Justin Trudeau says he skips a Canada World Cup match because he is with Katy Perry for another event. Multiple outlets report that the former Canadian prime minister addresses questions about his absence from the Canada game and frames his decision in personal terms, referring to it as “boyfriend duties.” In the reported comments, Trudeau emphasizes support for Canada, stating that he is still rooting for the team even though he is not at the match. One outlet summarizes his remarks as a defense of the decision, while another reports similar wording focused on “boyfriend duties call.” A third piece links the absence from the Canada match to his appearance in connection with Katy Perry for the USA World Cup coverage. Across the reports, the consistent points are that Trudeau is publicly questioned about missing the Canada game, he responds with explanations centered on his relationship, and he reiterates that he continues to support Canada despite the absence. The articles do not present additional details about the specific schedule beyond the mention of the USA-related appearance and the Canada match he misses.
