Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a secret talent –– he's got some great dance moves.
Trudeau was spotted making a surprise appearance at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour on Friday night in Toronto at the Rogers Centre. He was seen in the crowd before the November 22 show, visibly excited and full of energy as he danced to the pre-show music before the pop icon took the stage.
A video currently making the rounds on social media captured the moment Trudeau bobbed along to the song "You Don't Own Me," which is played during the countdown to Swift's entrance. The 52-year-old was seen showing off his dance moves – which included a lot of hand gestures – much to the delight of friends and fans around him.
Fans of Swift, 34, and Trudeau alike shared their reaction to the video. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) said, "I think it's great! Just because he's PM doesn't mean he can't have fun. He's still a young man." Another declared "We need all the videos! He's in his element," while a third stated, "So nice to see a dad out with his daughter. Fun times!"
The politician was presumably attending the concert with his 15-year-old daughter Ella-Grace. Trudeau shares three children with his wife, Sophie Grégoire: Ella-Grace, Xavier, 17, and Hadrian,10.
Swift's Toronto performance was a significant one, as it marked one of the final shows of the songstress's monumental Eras Tour –– the "Fortnight" singer only has four more shows remaining, the last one taking place in Vancouver on December 8.
Trudeau isn't the only notable figure caught dancing at a Swift concert. Back in June, Prince William was also allegedly spotted dancing during the opening night of the star's Eras Tour in London. The Prince of Wales, who attended the sold-out Wembley Stadium show with his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, was allegedly spotted shaking it to Swift's hit "Shake It Off." The royal family posed for a selfie with Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, a moment that was later shared on Swift's Instagram.
Swift's sold out tour included an impressive list of A-list attendees, such as Selena Gomez, Paul McCartney, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Justin Timberlake, who were all spotted enjoying the shows at various stops along the way.
