Taylor Swift reveals all about her backstage encounter with Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte at the Eras Tour"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s not the first time Swift has been connected with Prince William, a fact which Kelce referenced on the podcast. The two once engaged in an infamous karaoke session at the Winter Whites Gala evening at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatler.com\/topic\/kensington-palace\" isautogenerated=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kensington Palace<\/a> in 2013, during which Swift coaxed William on stage to perform Livin\u2019 On A Prayer with Bon Jovi. The prince jokingly played air guitar and high-fived everyone, as well as singing along with the pop legends.<\/p>\n<p>Recalling the meeting, Prince William said \u2018I got up like a puppy and went\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n<p>David M.Benett\/Centrepoint\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>\u2018To this day, I still do not know what came over me,\u2019 William said of the moment in a 2021 interview. \u2018I don&#8217;t understand why I gave in. But, frankly, if Taylor Swift looks you in the eye, touches your arm, and says, \u201cCome with me\u2026\u201d I got up like a puppy and went, \u201cYeah, okay, that seems like a great idea. I&#8217;ll follow you.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Which would again explain the future King\u2019s enthusiastic appearance at the Wembley show. He was spotted dancing to Swift\u2019s classic hit, Shake It Off, in the stalls just like the other concert-goers. The fact that Prince William showed off some delightfully uninhibited moves (as well he might have been, given it was his birthday) in his private box next to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatler.com\/topic\/prince-george\" isautogenerated=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince George<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatler.com\/topic\/princess-charlotte\" isautogenerated=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Princess Charlotte<\/a> quickly went viral on social media \u2013 as did the selfie Swift posted on her own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatler.com\/topic\/instagram\" isautogenerated=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, featuring herself, Kelce and the Wales family. \u2018Happy birthday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start,\u2019 she captioned the photo, the like-count of which quickly surpassed 10 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s not the first time Swift has been connected with Prince William, a fact which Kelce referenced on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351525,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,1761,2832,532,1762,2831,7710,519,27608,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-351524","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-prince-george","13":"tag-prince-of-wales","14":"tag-prince-william","15":"tag-princess-charlotte","16":"tag-princess-of-wales","17":"tag-royal-families","18":"tag-royal-family","19":"tag-the-prince-of-wales","20":"tag-uk-royal-family","21":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115043928897074050","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
