A Special Dedication

Coldplay‘s Chris Martin paid a heartfelt tribute to Taylor Swift during their concert in Düsseldorf, Germany, on Saturday, July 20.

In a video posted on TikTok, Martin, 47, can be seen sitting by a piano on stage. He addressed the audience, saying, “Now this is for Taylor Swift because she left town,” which was met with cheers from the crowd. He continued, “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.” Martin then performed “Everglow,” creating a touching moment for the fans.
