Katy Perry and Florence and the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd were photographed holding hands during Coachella fest, igniting speculation that the two may be dating.
To be sure, the image could not be less intimate. Perry stands three feet in front of Ackroyd, while cupping the back of his outstretched hand behind her.
The pair were spotted in the crowd while Rihanna performed during Calvin Harris' set at the Indio, California festival. At the time, several questioned the identity of Ackroyd.
Perry was all over the place at the fest; in addition to Riri's performance she caught sets by Radiohead, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, as well as M83.
She praised the latter via Twitter, as well as Radiohead's, calling it "spiritual" and adding that she "almost cried" during it.
