Prince William and Taylor Swift join Bon Jovi for “Livin’ On A Prayer”
Have you ever imagined a collaboration between the royal family and the legendary music icon? Today, we would like to present you a trio performance with two great music stars and a member of the royal family.
At a memorable event at Kensington Palace in 2013, Jon Bon Jovi took to the stage at the Centrepoint Gala Dinner and surprised everyone by inviting a special guest to join him. As he played the opening chords of his band’s iconic hit, “Livin’ on a Prayer,” he suggested that the “karaoke guy” could come up and sing a few words. To everyone’s surprise, the “karaoke guy” turned out to be none other than Prince William, a patron of the homeless charity Centrepoint.
With Taylor Swift supporting the band, the stage was set for an extraordinary collaboration. Two music superstars and a member of the royal family were about to come together and perform one of the most beloved songs in rock history.
As the song progressed, the prince gained confidence and his voice became more prominent. The duet with Swift, an acclaimed singer in her own right, only enhanced the charming performance. When the performance ended, William and Swift gracefully exited the stage hand in hand.
The performance has garnered over 3.5 million views and has received countless praise from viewers. Watch this incredible moment below:
Reflecting on the experience, William acknowledged that it helped boost his confidence. Despite feeling uncomfortable on stage, he mustered the courage to perform at Swift’s insistence.
Despite forgetting some of the lyrics to what happened to be one of her favorite songs, she appreciated the lesson it taught her: that it’s okay to let go of image concerns and sometimes embrace making a fool of yourself.
This unforgettable collaboration between musical royalty and the royal family demonstrated the power of music to unite people and transcend borders.
