Coldplay will be performing several sold-out shows in Vienna, Austria, this week at Ernst Happel Stadium, where Swift was set to take the stage earlier this month. Frontman Chris Martin and singer Maggie Rogers dedicated her song “Love Story” to those who were supposed to attend her concerts.
In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, by user @neilenore, Martin said: “If this is not good, please please don’t put it on YouTube because I don’t want to get in trouble with Taylor, okay?”
Martin added: “And uh, if you can sing with us, that would be wonderful, and this is a wonderful song.”

In the comments, Swift’s fans praised the band’s move.
“I love how supportive Chris has always been toward Taylor and the swifties,” @mdawn37 posted.
“Someone DARE tell me this is not the best band in the entire [sic] freaking universe,” @woodie_42 wrote.

“Love him so much,” @90sfairchild added, as @TayvisHaze commented, “This is really sweet of him.”
@Madaelena13 shared: “The fact this is exactly 2 weeks since it got canceled it’s just pure magic. Love you Chris.”
This isn’t the first time Martin honored Swift with a song. While performing in Germany on July 20, just one day after the pop star performed in Gelsenkirchen, the “Viva La Vida” singer gave a shoutout to Swift.

“Now this is for Taylor Swift, because she left town. 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 shared at the time, as Coldplay began playing their hit “Everglow.”
Swift’s three concerts on August 8, 9 and 10 were canceled after three people were arrested in connection with a planned terror attack in the Austrian capital. One of the suspects, a 19-year-old, pledged his allegiance to ISIS.
Omar Haijawi-Pirchner—Austria’s head of the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence—said: “His goal was to kill himself and a large crowd of people.”
The “Cruel Summer” singer spoke out about the situation for the first time via Instagram on Wednesday after concluding the European leg of her tour.
“Having our Vienna shows canceled was devastating. The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows,” Swift said. “But I was also so grateful to the authorities because, thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.”
Swift had five shows lined up at London’s Wembley Stadium prior to her tour’s hiatus. Swift defended her silence until now, saying that her goal was to keep her fans safe.
“I decided that all of my energy had to go toward helping to protect the nearly half a million people I had coming to see the shows in London. My team and I worked hand in hand with stadium staff and British authorities every day in pursuit of that goal, and I want to thank them for everything they did for us.
“In cases like this one, ‘silence’ is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it’s right to,” she said. “My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that.”
In 2019, the Grammy Award winner revealed to Elle magazine that her biggest fear was a terror attack at one of her concerts.
Swift told the outlet: “I carry QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds.”

Travis Kelce splashed out an eye-watering $70,000 on birthday gifts for ‘brother’ Patrick Mahomes… and here’s what he bought him
Patrick Mahomes recently celebrated his 29th birthday, and Travis Kelce reportedly broke the bank to make sure his ‘brother’ felt appreciated on his special day.
The pair have been teammates since Mahomes was drafted by the Chiefs in 2017, and they’ve gone on to strike up an incredible rapport that has helped the team win three Super Bowls.

And according to the US Sun, Kelce splashed out $70,000 in birthday gifts for Mahomes this year.
The items are said to include an engraved Rolex watch for $54,200, with the letters ‘P’ and ‘M’ marked on the back to recognize their close friendship.
Kelce also reportedly got Mahomes a $2,300 wool cardigan from Louis Vuitton, and six bottles of Masseto red wine for $1,100 each.

The Sun added that Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, helped Kelce with the watch, and that he added the engravement on the back to make it more ‘personal.’
The report comes after Brittany threw a birthday party for Patrick at their home after the Chiefs beat the Bengals.
The setup included a massive black, red and silver balloon arch sprawling across a corner of the room with a giant 29 metallic cutout at the center.
Another flashy decoration took over the area underneath the staircase with a big sign reading, ‘Patrick’s 29,’ in the middle.
Brittany even had custom cups and beer holders made, featuring childhood photos of the three-time Super Bowl winner.
After winning their second straight Super Bowl (and third total) together, Mahomes and Kelce spent some quality time together over the summer.
The friends met up in Europe as Patrick and Brittany traveled to Amsterdam to see Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, perform on her Eras Tour.

Donna Kelce Says Son Travis ‘Can’t Clean’ and ‘Can’t Cook’ But Hints He Might Be ‘Getting Some Help’ from Taylor Swift
Donna Kelce is playfully sharing some of her son Travis Kelce’s flaws.
In an interview with Extra TV, the Kelce matriarch, 71, got candid about the things the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, can’t do despite his success at football and his recent hosting and acting gigs.
“He can’t clean. He can’t cook,” she listed off jokingly, before adding that he was “getting a little better.”
“I think he’s getting some help,” Donna noted, hinting that he might be picking up some tips from girlfriend Taylor Swift, 34.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline
The 14-time Grammy winner previously shared a video on YouTube Shorts of him kissing her in the kitchen while she stirred a pot, alongside other snapshots of her life. In the brief clip, several food ingredients could be seen on the counter behind them.
When asked about his appearance in the video and the kinds of foods he liked to cook with Swift during a Chiefs press conference in June, the NFL player admitted he liked spending time in the kitchen with his girlfriend, though he declined to comment on the kinds of dishes they made together.
“I respect that question but I’m going to keep that one to myself because I thoroughly enjoy cooking with her so it’s something I’d rather just keep personal,” he responded.

He later added in the press conference that the “Fortnight” singer “makes a great pop-tart and cinnamon roll.” She even baked for Travis’ teammates after the pair went public with their romance in September 2023.
“Kind of behind-the-scenes, she, to fit in — she didn’t even know she was doing this, I don’t think — she likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen these homemade pop-tarts,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid revealed during an interview at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.
How Taylor Swift Supported Boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Decision to Star in Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie
Swift has been there to cheer Travis on as he recently returned to the football field for the NFL’s latest season. She has made appearances at the Chiefs season-opener at the beginning of this month and at the Sept. 15 Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium, where she wore an oversized Chiefs T-shirt paired with a pair of thigh high boots.
Swift is on a break from her tour following the conclusion of the European leg of her Eras Tour in mid-August, after playing a second set of shows at Wembley Stadium in London. Her tour is scheduled to pick back up mid-October in Miami.
Kelce previously supported the singer on tour, making an appearance at several of her European Eras Tour concerts. He even made a surprise cameo onstage during her June 23 show at London’s Wembley Stadium.
