Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is showing some love for Taylor Swift, Swifties and the canceled Eras Tour shows in Vienna.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is showing some love for Taylor Swift supporters in Austria. On Wednesday, the band kicked off the first of four concerts at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium where Martin, along with singer Maggie Rogers, sang an acoustic cover of Swift’s 2008 hit “Love Story.” According to video footage posted on social media, Martin also invited “two genuine Swifties” on stage while he and Rogers performed the song. “We sing this song with so much love for Taylor and so much love for Swifties,” Martin told the audience. Coldplay appears to be the first major act to headline a concert at the Austrian venue since a thwarted terror attack plot caused organizers to cancel three of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts there earlier this month. Swift was scheduled to begin the three-show run on August 9 when Austrian authorities announced they had prevented an ISIS-inspired plot to attack one of her shows there.
