He sang the first verse of a stripped-down version of his signature song. To the crowd\u2019s delight, a shy William was led onto the stage by none other than Taylor Swift. Suddenly, two global superstars of the music world and a member of the royal family were about to collaborate on one of the most famous songs in rock history.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/thHX-nZlpNs\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Prince William, Taylor Swift and Bon Jovi sing Livin' On a Prayer - FULL VERSION\" \/><\/p>\n<p>William and Swift flanked Bon Jovi, and as the chorus began, they joined in with backing vocals. Initially, a visibly nervous William couldn\u2019t be heard, but Swift beckoned him closer to the microphone. As the song went on, the prince grew in confidence and let his singing be heard. It helped that he was duetting with Swift, one of the most acclaimed singers on the planet. As the song ended, William took Swift\u2019s hand, and they made a graceful exit from the stage.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Prince William, Taylor Swift and Bon Jovi sing Livin' On a Prayer - FULL VERSION\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/thHX-nZlpNs?start=1&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, William credited this moment as helping his confidence levels. He admitted that he was deeply uncomfortable taking to the stage and only did so after being urged to do so by Swift. Such were his nerves, he also forgot the lyrics to the song, despite it being a favourite of his. However, the experience was one he was glad to have had. It taught him that he didn\u2019t need to worry so much about his image and that sometimes \u201cmaking a fool of yourself is OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/lDK9QqIzhwk\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bon Jovi\u2019s massive hit, \u201cLivin\u2019 on a Prayer\u201d, was first released in 1986 and was the band\u2019s second US Billboard Number 1 hit. It has remained hugely popular ever since and has been viewed over 1.1 billion times on YouTube.
