The night at Taylor Swift’s concert was anything but a relaxed and chill royal outing for Prince William! The future King made a grand entrance at Wembley Stadium with a sold-out crowd. We had Swift’s boyfriend Travis and his family in attendance. However, things were a bit chaotic before the royal family turned up at the event. It turns out the Prince of Wales, along with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, was running late. It resulted in a frantic last-minute dash. So, what went down that night?
William’s Hectic Night At Taylor Swift Concert
Despite the rush, Prince William and his kids enjoyed the concert from their VIP box. According to insiders, the last-minute rush made them late for their planned meet-and-greet with the Anti-Hero singer. They shared, “They had a nightmare getting in. They were running really late, but they had planned to get there earlier.” The Wales family wanted to do a little meet-and-greet with Taylor because they wanted to leave early.
Earlier that day, Buckingham Palace paid a special homage to the pop icon. The royal family made a prestigious military band play “Shake It Off” outside the palace. The clip of this tribute was even shared on the official royal social media accounts. Following the performance, Taylor posted a selfie with Prince William and his kids on Instagram. Sources suggest that she took it just twenty-five minutes before the concert.
Additionally, they revealed that the Wales family only had little time to spare for a quick meet-and-greet before heading to their box. Another insider claimed there was some stress about that because it took too long. Surprisingly, there were no snaps of the royals during the three-hour-long Eras Tour concert. Insiders explained the future King William and his kids tried to stay at the back of the VIP box. They were trying to avoid drawing attention.
Mind you, the stadium can accommodate around 90,000 people, so their point was totally valid, right? Despite no evidence, reports suggest William couldn’t resist dancing when Swift’s 2014 hit “Shake It Off” played. Folks caught him showing off his ‘dad dancing’ moves at the front of the box. The source added, “There were moments where they were at the front, so a lot of swapping was happening.”
Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales celebrated his 42nd birthday by sharing some heart warming moments with his kids during the concert. He even sang along with Princess Charlotte in adorable father-daughter moments. The source recalled, “You could tell they were having a little sing-song together, which was cute.” And get this: this wasn’t William’s first time meeting Taylor, and their friendship goes back to 2013.
The duo performed “Livin’ on a Prayer” with Jon Bon Jovi at a Kensington Palace charity event. Recalling in 2021, William still feels shy about the impromptu performance. The royal admitted feeling like he was “obeying like a puppy” when Swift asked him to join them on stage. Don’t forget to check out Soap Opera Daily for more juicy updates on Prince William.
