He regains the title of “London Boy”. For his birthday, Prince William took his children, Prince George and Prince Charlotte, to the first night of the Taylor Swift Eras tour in London and had a great time. He lived every Swiftie’s dream: meeting American royalty, participating in Swift’s Instagram-heavy launch of Travis Kelce, and hearing the mash-up “Hits Different” and “Death By A Thousand Cuts”; it’s the surprise jackpot of the song. During the show, the future King of England was caught grooving to “Shake It Off.” The royal guards even played it when Swift arrived in London. What more could he have wanted?

Maybe, just maybe, he was hoping to hear a special song during the surprise song segment. Here are five guesses about the pieces Prince William had on his wish list.

If we had to choose another danceable track from 1989 that isn’t already on the setlist, it would be this one. It’s catchy and about another Brit (Harry Styles). It is perhaps also a way for him to understand another Harry, his brother since they are still not really on good terms: Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have new icons…

This song was once described to me as a Trolls 2 atmosphere. Willy has 3 kids at home who probably jumped Trolls movies; they have bangers (and mash), and he clearly loves to move! It also has a little London reference, I have to keep it local.

Although the song itself contains no explicit English references, the music video does include Swift’s favorite kebab shop, Kentish Delight. She reportedly placed a huge order for skewers after her concert on Friday.

From one London boy to another, Swift sang Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Macavity” in the Cats film and since she did a mash-up with “Crazier” a few weeks ago, anything goes.

In 2013, Swift brought Prince William on stage at a charity event at Kensington Palace, and they sang “Livin’ On A Prayer” together. What if he hoped to recreate that moment? Swift brings his collaborators on stage, and there’s still a chance he’ll crawl under the stage for his big entrance.
