Award-winning Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has discussed how anxiety nearly derailed her performance during King Charles III’s historic coronation.

Tiwa Savage became the first Nigerian artiste to perform at a British royal event after thrilling guests at the King Charles III’s coronation concert and Big Lunch in March.

Appearing recently on Good Morning Britain TV Show, Tiwa Savage admitted that she was nervous in the first few seconds of her performance at Windsor Castle.

She said, “It was beautiful [to perform for the King]. It was such an amazing moment to represent the Commonwealth and to be on that stage.

“I was nervous, I will say the first few seconds. But as soon as I started singing, I said, ‘I have to just get swept away by the crowd’.”

The ‘Queen of afrobeats’, as she is fondly called, also described the British Queen Consort, Camilla, as “very lovely” during the show.

Tiwa Savage and the Queen Consort met before her historic performance at the coronation ceremony.
