More than a decade ago, Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>, Bon Jovi<\/strong><\/a> and Prince William<\/strong><\/a> got together on stage. No, that\u2019s not the beginning of a bad joke.<\/p>\n

In case you forgot, the trio sang Bon Jovi\u2019s \u201cLivin\u2019 on a Prayer\u201d at a Kensington Palace charity event in London in November 2013.<\/p>\n

A 30-second clip of the video<\/a> resurfaced on X thanks to the account @DigAdvice\u00a0<\/a>on Friday, June 21. When the video starts, Bon Jovi, 62, begins strumming his guitar, before saying, \u201cAnd just maybe the karaoke kid could come up and sing a couple words.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the crowd cheers and Bon Jovi begins his 1986 hit, he continues trying to convince William, 42, to join him on stage. Eventually, the Prince of Wales agrees and is joined by Swift. The pair flank the artist, with Swift on the right dancing along and William awkwardly standing, laughing and adjusting his bowtie. Finally, the chorus comes and the three sing it into the mic. Swift and William high-five after.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMax Mumby\/Indigo\/Getty Images Prince William is giving his children the real gift on his 42nd birthday by attending Taylor Swift\u2019s Eras Tour together. The Prince of Wales, who turned 42 on Friday, June 21, brought Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9, with him to Wembley Stadium for the show, a source exclusively tells Us [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Swift, 34, gave more insight into the moment during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show<\/em> in 2014, explaining that before the camera started rolling, Bon Jovi pointed to William and said something like, \u201cI hear you like to do this at karaoke night<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

11 years later, Bon Jovi, for his part, credited Swift with making it all happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was all her,\u201d he said in an interview with The Independent<\/em><\/a>. \u201cShe literally grabbed him by the arm and ran up on stage, and they both knew the words and sang along.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI give her kudos and I\u2019m grateful to this day because, you know, there\u2019s the future king of England with the biggest pop star in the world singing one of your songs. It\u2019s a great memory.\u201d<\/p>\n

William also spoke of the viral moment<\/a> during a 2021 appearance on Apple Fitness+\u2019s \u201cTime to Walk<\/a>\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sat next to Taylor Swift. She\u2019s on my left. And after Jon does his first song, there\u2019s a pause, and she turns to me. She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye, and says, \u2018Come on, William. Let\u2019s go and sing,\u2019\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n
