Taylor Swift Discusses Her Encounter with the British Monarchy Last Season
Football Star Jason Kelce's Royal Encounter: A Tale of Beer and Royalty
In an unexpected turn of events, Philadelphia Eagles centre Jason Kelce found himself in the presence of British royalty last summer, and the story of his encounter with Prince William and his family has since become a topic of intrigue.
During a backstage meeting at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in London, Kelce shared a light-hearted moment of indecision about whether to bring a beer to the meeting. His brother, Travis Kelce, who was also present, recalled the incident on their podcast in June 2024.
Taylor Swift, who witnessed the interaction, found the situation amusing and joined in on the humorous conversation about the appropriateness of bringing a beer to a royal meeting. If it had been an official meeting of royalty event, the Kelces would have had to bow or curtsy. However, as it was an informal encounter, the brothers decided to relax and be themselves.
Princess Charlotte, who was a favourite among the royal family that the Kelces met, was described as "so f*cking adorable" and "electric" by Jason Kelce. Travis Kelce, too, couldn't help but praise the young princess, calling her a "superstar."
Prince William was also a subject of high praise, with Jason Kelce describing him as "awesome" and Travis Kelce referring to him as the "coolest motherfucker" and a "good dude."
The protocol surrounding meeting royalty with alcohol present was a topic of discussion among Taylor Swift and the Kelce brothers. The awkwardness and uncertainty about whether it is respectful to drink beer in such formal settings added to the relatable humor of the situation.
Taylor Swift remembers the incident fondly, and in her podcast appearance, she joked about keeping the beer if it were up to her during the royal meeting. Travis Kelce, on the other hand, placed his beer ten feet away from him during the meeting, a decision that was met with laughter from the group.
In the end, the situation described reflects an informal and lighthearted uncertainty rather than a strict official protocol about alcohol when meeting royalty. The Kelces received a warning about the protocol for meeting the royal family, but it wasn't necessary as they weren't at an official royal event.
Taylor Swift also took the opportunity to discuss her new album, titled The Life of a Showgirl, during her appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast. The encounter with the royal family was just one of the many memorable moments from her Eras Tour in London last summer.
