According to royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, it is evident that Taylor Swift preferred to associate with Prince William, and that was the reason why she significantly snubbed Meghan Markle in the past, as she apparently had to choose sides and preferred her loyal fan and future monarch of the United Kingdom.
The Duchess of Sussex once tried to get the singer to be present on her podcast, Archetypes, but this never happened, and according to Schofield, this is because Swift is “Team Wales“, and this was evident after her previous performance in London, where Prince William and his oldest children took a photo with the pop star.

The expert spoke about Meghan Markle’s podcast and revealed, “She wrote her a handwritten letter and Taylor’s team rejected it“. Although the former royal had big celebrities present, such as Mariah Carey and Paris Hilton, for Swift to attend would have been to betray her good relationship with William, who has a personal conflict with Prince Harry and his wife.
The royal commentator also explained that the friendship between the future monarch and the singer has lasted many years and recalled, “There is great video of them singing with Jon Bon Jovi at a charity event“, with the intention of making it clear that for Taylor Swift, her relationship with Prince William is important and would not break it for Meghan.
