Last Wednesday (21), Chris Martin, singer of Coldplay, paid tribute to Taylor Swift during the show in Vienna, Austria.
Two weeks ago, the singer was forced to cancel a series of shows in the cityafter authorities discovered that a terrorist attack was in progress.
“If this is not okay, please don’t put it on YouTube because I don’t want to get in trouble with Taylor.“, Chris joked as he sang the song Love story with Maggie Rogers.
“We sing this song with so much love for Taylor, with so much love for the Swifties”said Chris, who called two “real Swifties” to join him on stage to help with the tribute.”And we sing this song with love to the young people who have been brainwashed into doing stupid things, and we send them our love too.”
“The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of dread and a tremendous sense of guilt because so many people had planned to go to these shows.”Taylor said about the shows scheduled for August 8-10.
“I have been heartened by the love and unity I have seen in the fans who have come together. I have decided that all my energy should be directed towards helping to protect the nearly half a million people who have come to see the shows in London. My team and I have worked hand in hand every day with the stadium team and the UK authorities in pursuit of this goal, and I want to thank them for everything they have done for us.”said the singer.
“We didn’t mention that Vienna was in the news all over the world for all the wrong reasons. But what reached us was the beauty, the unity and the kindness of all the Taylor Swift fans. So we thought: obviously Taylor is in the United States, she’s not here, but we are here, so we have to do our best. So I don’t want you to think that we don’t care about the Swifties in our band.” Chris concluded.
“From Vienna with love @coldplay @taylorswift“, Maggie wrote on her Instagram sharing the video of the show.
It is worth remembering that last month Coldplay dedicated a performance of their song Everglow from 2016 to Taylor Swift while performing in Düsseldorf, a few days after performing in the neighboring city.”This is for Taylor Swift because she left town”he declared during the show.
“This is for all of you who are sad today because Taylor had to go to the next town over. So let’s sing this love song, this heartbreak song, and send it to Taylor wherever she is today.” he said.
Last Tuesday (20), Taylor Swift concluded its five-show season at Wembley Stadium in London, concluding the European leg of the The Tour of the Eras.
