She’s back in the headlines this week, implied to be raiding the pockets of a “disabled veteran” while facing scrutiny for her somewhat inexplicable new romance with Justin Trudeau. Yes, that Justin Trudeau. Shall we?1. Perry wins in court, but loses onlineBy one metric, such as “relative to the rest of 2025”, this might have been a good week for Katy Perry.
