Taylor Swift is one superstar whose fan community extends from the common to the elite. While the Eras Tour already held witness to Tinseltown exclusives jetting off to her concert venues overseas amidst their packed schedules, a recent gesture of appreciation came from the corners of the music industry on the coattails of the British rock band, Coldplay. Although artists like Ice Spice and Sabrina Carpenter have often wooed fans with their Swift-coded references, this time it was Coldplay, receiving a truckload of love from Swifties.
Coldplay recently took over Deutschland with their symphonic magic at Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf, days after Taylor Swift inspired a Gelsenkirchen to rename in honor of her Eras Tour. Seizing the moment of her absence, Chris Martin dedicated their track, 'Everglow,' which he called the song of love but also heartbreak to all the Taylor Swift fans present in the arena who were mourning as she left town for the next stop of her Eras Tour. Interestingly, Coldplay’s crew also went to the Eras at Gelsenkirchen a day before.

Consequently, fans from all over the globe have gathered to give the star-struck moment the deserving attention as the clip now makes several rounds of the internet.
