Travis Kelce Recounts Taylor Swift's 2013 Sing-Along With Prince William

offered insight into the moment sang “Livin’ on a Prayer” with and at a charity event in 2013.

“They actually performed karaoke with Bon Jovi,” Travis, 34, told brother about Swift, 34, and William, 42, during the Wednesday, June 26, “New Heights” podcast episode. “Bon Jovi called them up and was like, ‘Yo, why don’t you come on up here and sing this one with me?’ And I guess he was like, ‘I don’t know.’”

Per Travis’ account of the throwback moment, Swift told the now Prince of Wales, “Let’s do this. I’ll roll up there with you.” Photo evidence of the moment proved that Swift and William did, in fact, share the stage with a music legend.

“Tay got [William] out of his shell and sure enough, he went up there and they ripped it and they said he had a blast,” Travis continued. “And I’m just like, I don’t know if any other Prince is doing that. You know what I mean?”

“I didn’t realize this because obviously we’re backstage meeting him because he was there with little George and Charlotte, and they were an absolute delight to meet,” Travis continued. “Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to like bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand.”

Jason, 36 — who also met the royals — said they “did get [a] warning” about meeting the royal family before William and the kids came backstage.

“They said that because we weren’t at like an official royal event, we didn’t need to bow or curtsy,” he explained. “If it would have been like an official meeting of royalty event, then it would have been that. But I did still address him as Your Royal Highness.”
