Watch: Chris Martin Performs Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' At Coldplay's Vienna Concert

While Taylor Swift’s concert cancellation in Vienna left fans heartbroken, it seems Coldplay’s Chris Martin and singer Maggie Rogers are showing all their love for the Swifties in Austria. Earlier this week, the band kicked off the first of their four concerts at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium, where they surprisingly sang an acoustic cover of Swift’s superhit song, Love Story. Videos going viral show Martin on stage with his band members along with Rogers as they present a special ode to the fans.

“We sing this song with so much love for Taylor, with so much love for Swifties, and we sing this song with love for young people who are brainwashed into doing stupid. If this is not good, please don’t put it on YouTube because I don’t want to get in trouble with Taylor. And if you could sing with us, that would be wonderful,” Martin said before singing the hook lines.

During this time, he also addressed the fact that Vienna was “in the news all over the world for all the wrong reasons,” further adding that the band was touched by the fans’ “beauty, togetherness, and kindness.” Before he brought two Swift fans to the stage, Martin said, “I don’t want to let you think that we don’t care about Swifties in our band.”

Taking his cue, the crowd cheered aloud and sang along with the musicians during the performance. While Martin strummed the guitar, Rogers tried to evoke Swift’s vocal style. She also posted the video on Instagram and wrote, “from vienna with love.”

Elated fans widely shared video clips from the performance across social media platforms. They expressed their joy through posts, heartwarming comments and much more. “I have so much respect for Coldplay for doing this. They will forever be the ones that comforted us first,” one wrote, while another added, “How heartwarming and sweet! Chris Martin has done more to comfort Swifties than Taylor Swift herself.”

“Vienna needed it,” the official handle of the Recording Academy wrote. Fans even called out, demanding a crossover between Coldplay and Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift’s Shows Cancelled

Amid reports of a possible terror attack, Swift’s multiple shows were cancelled in Austria. Authorities also confirmed that they had prevented an ISIS-inspired attack plot.

Addressing the same for the first time, the singer reached out to her fans on Instagram and wrote, “Having our Vienna shows cancelled 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. But I was also so grateful to the authorities because, thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives. I was heartened by the love and unity I saw in the fans who banded together.”
