Guess what! The queen of catchy tunes and sassy lyrics, Taylor Swift, apparently pulled a fast one on King Charles III. According to royal aficionado Omid Scobie’s latest masterpiece, “Endgame,” our 33-year-old “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” crooner gave a big fat “no” to the 75-year-old royal’s coronation bash in May.
Now, before you start imagining Taylor Swift in a crown and belting out royal anthems, hold your horses. It turns out, not only did Taylor decline the royal gig, but a bunch of other musicians also RSVP’d with a firm “no thanks.” According to Scobie, finding entertainers for the regal soirée was like herding cats – a real challenge.
As for the juicy details of why Taylor snubbed the royal shindig, Scobie’s book leaves us hanging. But here’s a wild guess: maybe she was too busy perfecting her cat-eye eyeliner for the Eras Tour. Yes, Taylor was already rocking stages with her musical prowess, leaving the crown and scepter behind.
Picture this: while King Charles III was getting his royal groove on, Taylor was twirling in her glittery dress, mic in hand, and conquering the stage. The coronation clash happened on May 6, the same night Taylor had the second of her three Eras concerts in Nashville, Tenn. Talk about a scheduling nightmare!
Sir Elton John, the Rocket Man himself, also got the royal invite but gracefully declined. Why, you ask? Scheduling issues, darling! Elton’s glittery calendar was booked solid.
A royal spectacle that could have featured Taylor Swift and Elton John, but they were too busy being music royalty elsewhere. Scobie’s book spills the tea on the royal family, but we’re left with the mystery of why Taylor said “no” to the crown. Perhaps she was just too busy writing her next chart-topping hit about royal rejection. Bow down, Your Majesty, to the queen who dances to her own Eras!
