Yahoo News wrote about the other artists that also turned down the invite.
“Taylor Swift reportedly rejected an offer to perform at King Charles III’s coronation in May, according to an upcoming book by royal reporter Omid Scobie. Us Weekly reported that the pop star was one of several musicians who turned Charles down, including Harry Styles, Adele, Elton John, and the Spice Girls, making it difficult for officials to organize the ceremony.”

The decision to turn down the performance was somewhat controversial, given that it wasn’t the first time Swift rejected a request from The Royals.

In truth, Swift could have added to her billionaire status with the high profile gigs, but in both instances, elected not to.
Taylor Swift Also Turned Down Meghan Markle’s Podcast Invite
Back in June of 2023, Page Six reported that Taylor Swift had rejected Meghan Markle’s invitation to appear on her now-canceled podcast.
It is said that Markle wrote a personal note to Taylor Swift, but was still snubbed by the artist. Page Six writes, “Meghan Markle reportedly penned a personal note to Taylor Swift asking the pop star to be a guest on “Archetypes,” only to be shut down.”
Via InstarNot only did Swift turn the offer down, but it is believed that she didn’t even respond to the request.
“Swift, rejected the invitation, according to the Wall Street Journal, and didn’t even bother responding herself — instead having a representative decline on her behalf in what could be seen as a diss to the Duchess of Sussex. Any chance at a do-over is off the table now, as Markle, 41, announced earlier this month that she and her husband, Prince Harry, had parted ways with Spotify, which streamed her podcast, just three years after signing a $20 million deal.”
David Letterman’s reveal of what Taylor Swift smelled like wasn’t what the artist and the fans were expecting.
Given that the podcast came to an end, there is no chance of the two coming together. Nonetheless, Markle and Swift completely debunked the rumors of tension between the two sides after Meghan showed up to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
Meghan Markle Debunked The Taylor Swift Feud Rumor Appearing At Her Eras Tour
Just a couple of months later, People reported that Meghan Markle attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Los Angeles. Prince Harry was in Asia at the time, as Markle took part alongside a friend.
People wrote, “A source confirms to PEOPLE that the Duchess of Sussex, attended Taylor Swift’s performance at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on Tuesday during the Eras Tour’s California leg. As Swift launched into her Fearless era — telling the excited crowd, “Let’s go back to high school!” — Meghan jumped up out of her chair to sing along to “You Belong with Me.”

Although Prince Harry did not join his wife as he’s overseas, he’s been to SoFi Stadium since they located to Meghan’s home state in 2020 after stepping back from their royal roles. In 2022, he attended the Super Bowl at the venue alongside his cousin Princess Eugenie, who was visiting from the U.K.”
Making an appearance was clearly a big deal for Markle, and it really proved that there wasn’t any type of bad blood between the two sides. Given Swift’s ridiculous schedule, it could be that she just couldn’t make the commitment, especially in the midst of her Eras Tour.
