Coldplay's Chris Martin dedicates a song to Taylor Swift at Germany concert

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin paid tribute to Taylor Swift and her fans during the band’s Music Of The Spheres world tour concert in Dusseldorf concert on Saturday (Jul 20).

While beginning to play the band’s track Everglow on the piano, Martin shared a heartfelt message for the Shake It Off hitmaker who completed her three Eras Tour shows in nearby city Gelsenkirchen on Friday.

Speaking from the stage at the Merkur Spiel-Arena, Martin said: "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.”

Following her three nights at the Veltins-Arena, Swift took to Instagram to thank her German fans for their enthusiasm and support, sharing photos and videos from the concerts.

The Blank Space singer posted: "Those three Gelsenkirchen crowds were amazing, and so thoughtful?

“There were signs and paper hearts, the Betty wave, and tons of DIY Willow orbs made out of balloons and phone flashlights. Thank you!”

Swift, 34, also expressed her appreciation for the incredible response to her latest LP, The Tortured Poets Department, which stayed at number one for its first 12 weeks on the Billboard 200 albums chart, a milestone she had never achieved before.

She posted: "I also wanted to say to everyone who’s supported The Tortured Poets Department, I am completely blown away by what you’ve done – it stayed at number 1 for the first 12 weeks of its release and that’s never happened to an album of mine before, not even close!

"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!”

The Eras Tour now moves on to Hamburg and Munich in Germany before heading to Poland and Austria and then back to the UK for five more nights at London's Wembley Stadium.
