Chris Martin Dedicates ‘Everglow’ to Taylor Swift at Coldplay Concert

The band’s Music of the Spheres tour rolled into town just as the singer’s Eras tour was heading to a different part of Germany

Over the weekend, Taylor Swift delivered three back-to-back performances in Gelsenkirchen as the beginning of her seven-show run in Germany on the Eras tour. The musician is off to Hamburg and Munich over the next few days, but the country is already missing her. On Saturday, Coldplay took over Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf on their Music of the Spheres tour. During the performance, Chris Martin prefaced “Everglow” with a dedication to Swift.

“This is for Taylor Swift because she left town,” the frontman said. “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.” Gelsenkirchen and Düsseldorf are about 30 miles away from each other, but Swift’s absence is being felt all the same.

“Everglow” appeared on Coldplay’s seventh studio album, A Head Full of Dreams. In the opening verse, Martin sings: “Oh, they say people come, say people go/This particular diamond was extra special/And though you might be gone, and the world may not know/Still I see you celestial.”

Swift wrote about the same narrative thread on “Daylight,” a song from her own seventh studio album, Lover. “I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you/I don’t wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you,” she sings on the chorus. “I’ve been sleepin’ so long in a twenty-year dark night/And now I see daylight, I only see daylight.”

Swift will resume the Eras tour on Tuesday, July 23, in Hamburg, while the Music of the Spheres tour has one more show in Düsseldorf before Coldplay heads over to Helsinki, Finland, later this week. Swift and Martin haven’t spent a lot of time crossing paths creatively throughout their careers, but Swift did perform an acoustic cover of Coldplay’s classic “Viva La Vida” back in 2010.
