Chris Martin gives special shout out to Taylor Swift during Coldplay's concert, WATCH
Chris Martin and Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is a force to reckon with. A fact that even fellow musicians recognise. During Coldplay's recent concert in Dusseldorf on Saturday, the band's lead vocalist Chris Martin took a moment to dedicate the song Everglow to Swift and Swifties.
The touching gesture occurred as Swift continued mesmerising audiences across Germany with her record-breaking Eras Tour, having recently concluded a series of shows in Gelsenkirchen.
"This is for Taylor Swift because she left town," Martin shared with the audience from behind his piano at Merkur Spiel-Arena. "This is for all of you who feel sad today because Taylor had to go to the next city. So we sing this love song, this heartbreak song, and send it to Taylor wherever she is today," he said, Billboard reported.
The dedication resonated with fans who earlier were mesmerized by Swift's three-night stint at Gelsenkirchen. Swift expressed her gratitude on Instagram, marvelling at the creativity and affection shown by her German fans with signs, paper hearts, and unique DIY tributes during her performances.
"Those 3 Gelsenkirchen crowds were AMAZING, and so thoughtful???" Swift wrote, "There were signs and paper hearts, the 'Betty' wave, and tons of DIY 'willow' orbs made out of balloons and phone flashlights. Thank you!!!"
During the concerts in Germany, the singer also celebrated the success of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. It maintained its No.1 position on the charts for 12 consecutive weeks, a first in her illustrious career.
