Coldplay and Maggie Rogers teamed up to perform Taylor Swift ‘s “Love Story” in Vienna after Swift had to cancel her shows due to a thwarted terror plot. The performance took place at the Ernst Happel Stadium on August 21, 2024, during Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour.
Swift was scheduled to perform on August 8, 9, and 10, but her concerts were canceled after authorities uncovered an alleged threat.
In a heartfelt tribute to Swift and her fans, Coldplay and Rogers delivered an a cappella version of the hit song.
Before the performance, Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin addressed the audience. He acknowledged the recent events in Vienna and praised the kindness and unity of Swift’s fans. Martin stated, “We felt it was important to do the best we could for her fans,” emphasizing that they wanted to show their support for the Swifties present.
The concert occurred under heightened security measures due to the recent terror threat. Live Nation GSA assured concertgoers that their safety was a top priority, coordinating closely with local authorities to ensure a secure environment.
In a separate update, Taylor Swift shared the music video for her song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” on August 20, featuring behind-the-scenes moments from her Eras Tour. The video highlights her rehearsal process and showcases her dedication to her craft.
Swift has since resumed her tour in London, completing a five-night stint at Wembley Stadium. She expressed her gratitude to the authorities for their swift action in preventing a potential tragedy in Vienna. Swift reflected on the emotional toll of canceling her shows, stating, “I was grateful to the authorities because, thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.”
The tribute by Coldplay and Maggie Rogers served as a touching gesture of solidarity with Taylor Swift and her fans during a challenging time.
