One of the best things about being a royal is all theother famous people you get to meet. And one of the best things about being Taylor Swift is getting to meet a royal.
So it was hard to tell who looked more pleased when Taylor Swift went to Kensington Palace today to meet HRH Prince William at a reception, and to perform at a gala for one of his favorite charities.
"Awesome!" she was reported to have said after meeting the prince. "He was very funny. I was really happy he was funny."
She looked very grown up dressed in an off-the-shoulder chiffon column gown with a gold-lace bodice and a plunging neckline.
She wasn't the only star, nor even the only American star, at the Winter Whites gala for Centrepoint, the homeless-youth charity William took on for his mother Princess Diana after she died in 1997.
Bon Jovi was scheduled to perform, too, and Jon Bon Jovi brought his wife and three kids to the reception to meet the prince, who happily posed with them all.
Before the performances, William mingled with Swift, Bon Jovi and other stars (actorsColin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michelle Dockery) at a reception for 200 major donors, held in one of the state rooms of the palace decorated in a winter-wonderland theme.
William now lives with wife Duchess Kate and son Prince George at Kensington Palace, but the duchess stayed home with the baby at their 21-room apartment nearby. (She had not been expected at the party.)
Swift seemed to be having a good time, according to the tweets of journalists who were there, but may not have caught everything said to her, according to Valentine Low of The Times of London.
"Interviewed Taylor Swift on red carpet at Kensington Palace," he tweeted. "It went well. 'I love your accent but I just don't know what you're saying.'"
By the way, it was the second public engagement of the day for William, who earlier went to the London Zoo with his father Prince Charles to see the new tiger enclosure, and to highlight their joint conservation effort to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.
