London was calling — but <\/span>Taylor Swift<\/a> didn’t pick up!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In Omid Scobie’s new book, <\/span>Endgame<\/span><\/em>, the royal reporter claims that Swift turned down an invite to perform at <\/span>King Charles III<\/a>‘s historic coronation in May. According to multiple reports, Scobie’s book doesn’t give an exact reason for the “Blank Space” singer’s decision to decline.<\/span><\/p>\n At the time of the coronation, Swift was in the middle of her Eras Tour and was performing in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 6, which was when King Charles’ coronation took place in the U.K. The following day, May 7, was his coronation concert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Scobie’s book also claims that the palace sent out requests to other notable performers asking if they’d participate in the coronation, including <\/span>Harry Styles<\/a>, <\/span>Adele<\/a> and Robbie Williams. The books says they all denied the invitations, and locking down entertainers for the concert started to become a “challenge.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ultimately, King Charles <\/span>had star power for his big concert<\/a> as Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Take That and\u00a0Andrea Bocelli performed<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Richie spoke to ET about the opportunity to perform for the new king.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
