Coldplay dedicated a song to Swifties during their Vienna gig on Wednesday night.
Taylor Swift was forced to cancel her three gigs in the Austrian city this month after it emerged ISIS had planned to target her fans.
And Chris Martin was keen to do his bit to cheer up any Taylor fans in the audience for his gig, belting out the pop icon’s classic track Love Story.
Joining forces with their support act on tour Maggie Rogers, the band delighted fans with the acoustic rendition.
