Robbie Williams has admitted that he believes Taylor Swift did not know who he was when he joined her on stage in June 2018. The American megastar, 35, surprised fans with a special guest appearance from Robbie during her Reputation tour at Wembley Stadium six-and-a-half years ago.

But speaking to US radio station SiriusXM Hits 1 on Thursday, Robbie revealed that he thinks Taylor had absolutely no idea who he was ahead of the performance. Robbie said his theory is that Taylor only invited him on stage after her then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, who is English, suggested that he was big in the UK and would be a good choice of special guest.

He said: 'When I came up through the stage and the audience erupted you could just see this thing in her face go "Uh? Eh?" and I'm like "Yeah, yeah I'm the mayor of this here. I'm a big deal.'. The confession comes after Americans claimed to have 'never heard of him' ahead of the US release of his monkey biopic Better Man - sparking a huge debate.

Robbie Williams has admitted that he believes Taylor Swift did not know who he was when he joined her on stage in June 2018 (Pictured then). Speaking to US radio station SiriusXM Hits 1 on Thursday, Robbie revealed that he thinks Taylor had absolutely no idea who he was ahead of the performance.
Speaking in his US interview last week, Robbie said: 'I think the interesting this is that Taylor, I think, knew the concept of a Robbie Williams somewhere in the world but I don't think she knew anything about me. 'And I think maybe whoever she was dating at the time was English and went "Hey maybe you should get Robbie Williams". I think this is how it went.
