Coldplay‘s Chris Martin and Maggie Rogers have covered a Taylor Swift song while performing in Vienna, Austria after the latter’s ‘Eras’ tour concerts in the country were cancelled following a foiled terror plot.Earlier this month, all three of Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ shows in Vienna were cancelled after it was revealed that two people had been arrested for allegedly plotting a terror attack during the gigs.“This is something we never do, but we have to do it today,” Martin said on Wednesday night (August 21). “Of course, we haven’t mentioned that Vienna was in the news all over the world for all the wrong reasons.

But what reached us was the beauty and the togetherness and the kindness of all of Taylor Swift’s fans.”“I don’t want to let you think that we don’t care about Swifties in our band,” he added before joking: “If this is not good, please, please don’t put it on YouTube because I don’t want to get in trouble with Taylor.

If you can sing with us that would be wonderful. This is a wonderful song.”He then proceeded to call up two fans from the crowd and show opener Maggie Rogers onstage as they duetted ‘Love Story’.Watch fan-shot footage of Coldplay and Maggie Rogers cover Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’ in Vienna below.Last night (August 21), Swift commented on the Vienna show cancellations and foiled terror plot after her European tour had wrapped: “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.”She continued: “I was heartened by the love and unity I saw in the fans who banded together.
