The HEARTFELT Moment : Coldplay sobbed while singing ‘Everglow’ for Taylor Swift during concert in Dusseldorf

The dedication comes as Swift continues her record-breaking “The Eras Tour” across Germany, with upcoming stops in Hamburg and Munich.

In an unexpected crossover of pop titans, Coldplay’s Chris Martin paid homage to Taylor Swift during their Düsseldorf concert on Saturday (July 20).

Before performing their 2016 track “Everglow,” Martin dedicated the song to Swift and her fans, acknowledging her recent departure from nearby Gelsenkirchen after completing her Eras Tour shows in the city last Friday.

“This is for Taylor Swift because she left town,” Martin said from behind the piano, eliciting cheers from the crowd 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.”

The thoughtful dedication comes as Swift continues her record-breaking Eras Tour across Germany, with upcoming stops in Hamburg and Munich.

The “Anti-Hero” singer recently celebrated the enthusiastic reception from German Swifties, praising their “amazing” and “thoughtful” support during her three-night run in Gelsenkirchen.

“Those 3 Gelsenkirchen crowds were AMAZING, and so thoughtful???” she wrote on Instagram. “There were signs and paper hearts, the ‘Betty’ wave, and tons of DIY ‘willow’ orbs made out of balloons + phone flashlights. Thank you!!!”

Swift also expressed her appreciation for the support of her latest album,

and the fact that the album had stayed at number one for its first 12 weeks, a milestone she had never achieved before.

I also wanted to say to everyone who’s supported , I am completely blown away by what you’ve done – it stayed at #1 for the first 12 weeks of its release and that’s never happened to an album of mine before, not even close!!” the “Blank Space” singer wrote.

She added, “You’re just the greatest. Anyway, now that we’ve officially kicked off our shows in Germany, I can’t wait to see you all in Hamburg next!”

Coldplay’s European tour leg follows their headline-grabbing performance at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival in late June. The band is set to continue their run with another show in Düsseldorf on July 21.

On the Billboard charts, both Coldplay and Taylor Swift continue to make waves. Swift’s remains a fixture in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, while Coldplay’s latest single “Higher Power” is climbing the Hot 100.
