Prince William admits that he obeyed ‘like a puppy’ when glamorous pop star Taylor Swift ordered him on stage for an impromptu performance.
Via I can’t believe I’m actually telling you this story… I turn up and Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are at the event, which nearly knocked me off my feet.
‘And then, I went inside, met everybody, a lot of handshaking to do those nights, a lot of chatting. I try and be charming and interactive.
‘Occasionally, you’re not having a good day, and it’s a little harder to come by.
‘When I sat down to watch Taylor Swift do her performance, I thought, “That’s it. My job is done. I’ll get a dinner in a minute, and I might be able to have a chat to some people, and, you know, I’m off-duty a little bit now.” ‘
But matters did not go according to that plan. ‘Little did I think what was going to happen next,’ he adds. ‘I’m sat next to Taylor Swift.
‘She’s on my left – and after Jon does his first song, there’s a pause and she turns to me.
She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye and says, “Come on, William. Let’s go and sing.”
‘To this moment, I still do not know what came over me. Honestly, even now I’m cringing at what happened next, and I don’t understand why I gave in.
‘But, frankly, if Taylor Swift looks you in the eye, touches your arm and says, “Come with me…” I got up like a puppy and went, “Yeah, OK, that seems like a great idea. I’ll follow you.”
It’s common knowledge that Prince William is a big Aston Villa fan, but on Friday night he confirmed that along with his eldest children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, nine, he is a fully-fledged Swiftie.
Reports went wild after the future King enjoyed an exciting evening at Wembley Stadium alongside his children on the eve of his 42nd birthday. Together, they were seen dancing the night away to Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, with William’s cousin Zara Tindall as the singer kicked off her Eras tour in London.
