During Coldplay’s electrifying concert in Düsseldorf on Saturday night, lead singer Chris Martin dedicated the song Everglow to music icon Taylor Swift and her loyal fans.

“This is for Taylor Swift because she left town,” Martin told the audience behind his piano in the Merkur Spiel-Arena. “This is for everyone who is sad today because Taylor had to move to the next town. So we’re singing this love song, this song about heartbreak and sending it to Taylor wherever she is today,” he said, according to Billboard.

The dedication was well received by fans and reflected Swift’s departure from Gelsenkirchen after a triumphant three-day performance during which she was overwhelmed by the wave of support.

Swift expressed her gratitude on Instagram, marveling at the creativity and affection her German fans showed during her performances with signs, paper hearts and unique homemade tributes.

“The three crowds in Gelsenkirchen were AMAZING and so thoughtful???,” Swift wrote, adding, “There were signs and paper hearts, the ‘Betty’ wave and lots of homemade ‘willow’ balls made from balloons and phone flashlights. Thank you!!!”

Swift also celebrated the success of her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, which spent 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s charts, a first in her illustrious career. “I’m completely blown away by what you’ve done,” she told her fans, emphasizing their role in this unprecedented success.

As Coldplay continues their European tour following their headlining performance at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival, the band’s gesture towards Swift adds a poignant moment to their ongoing musical journey. Their concert in Düsseldorf was part of a series of dynamic performances, with another performance taking place in the same city on July 21.
