Coldplay Pays Tribute to Taylor Swift in Vienna with "Love Story" Cover
Coldplay, set to release their new album "Moon Music" later this year, have been treating fans to a taste of their upcoming material with live performances of tracks like "feelslikeimfallinginlove", "GOOD FEELiNGS" and "ALL MY LOVE". During their recent concert in Vienna, frontman Chris Martin took a moment to acknowledge the recent cancellations of Taylor Swift's shows in the city, which were thwarted due to security concerns.
"We never do this, but we have to do it today," Martin said, referring to the unexpected cover. "Of course, we've all heard about Vienna being in the news for the wrong reasons. But what really resonated with us was the strength and kindness of all of Taylor Swift's fans."
In a touching gesture of solidarity, Martin invited Swift's fans from the crowd to join him and support act Maggie Rogers on stage for a rendition of Swift's beloved ballad "Love Story". "If this isn't good, please, please don't put it on YouTube because I don't want to get in trouble with Taylor," he joked. "But if you can sing with us, that would be wonderful. This is a wonderful song."
The performance, captured on video and shared online, showcases a heartfelt moment of unity and support for Swift and her fans. The gesture comes shortly after Swift made her own statement on the cancellation of her shows, expressing her disappointment and understanding for the safety measures taken.
Coldplay's show in Vienna serves as a reminder of the power of music to unite people in times of difficulty. The unexpected cover of "Love Story" is a testament to the band's respect for Swift and her loyal fanbase, and a poignant tribute to the resilience of the music community in the face of adversity.
