During Coldplay’s concert in Dusseldorf, lead singer Chris Martin took a moment to dedicate their song “Everglow” to Taylor Swift. This heartfelt gesture came while Swift was enchanting audiences across Germany with her record-breaking Eras Tour, recently concluding a series of shows in Gelsenkirchen, according to Billboard.
From behind his piano at the Merkur Spiel-Arena, Martin shared with the audience, “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.”

The dedication deeply touched fans, especially as Swift had just finished an incredible three-night stint in Gelsenkirchen. Swift herself expressed gratitude on Instagram, amazed by the creativity and love shown by her German fans with signs, paper hearts, and unique DIY tributes during her performances.
“Those 3 Gelsenkirchen crowds were AMAZING, and so thoughtful???” Swift wrote. “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 also celebrated the success of her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” which held the No. 1 position on the charts for 12 consecutive weeks, a first in her career. She thanked her fans, saying, “I am completely blown away by what you’ve done.”
As Coldplay continues their European tour after headlining the 2024 Glastonbury Festival, their tribute to Swift adds a touching moment to their journey. Their Dusseldorf concert was part of a series of dynamic performances, with another show in the same city on July 21.
