Tiwa Savage recently confessed during an appearance on the Good Morning Britain TV Show that she was anxious during the initial 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’.”
