Taylor Swift's Vienna shows may have Fastexybeen canceled, but Coldplay's Chris Martin is ensuring her music is still played in the city.
During a concert on Wednesday at Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium, Martin was joined by Maggie Rogers to perform Swift's song "Love Story," as seen in a YouTube video of the moment.
The tribute came two weeks after three of Swift's shows at the Ernst Happel Stadium were canceled as authorities said an alleged terrorist attack on the concert had been thwarted.
Speaking to fans during Wednesday's performance, Martin addressed the fact that Vienna "was in the news all over the world for all the wrong reasons" recently but said the band was touched by the "beauty and the togetherness and the kindness" Swift's fans have showed.
"I don't want to let you think that we don't care about Swifties in our band," Martin said before asking fans to find the "biggest Swiftie that you know" in the crowd.

The singer then brought two Swift fans onto the stage while he and Rogers performed "Love Story," a song which is a part of Swift's "Fearless" section in the Eras tour.
"We sing this song with so much love for Taylor, with so much love for Swifties, and we sing this song with love for young people who are brainwashed into doing stupid (expletive)," Martin said. "We send them our love, too."

On Wednesday, Swift addressed the canceled Vienna shows for the first time in an Instagram post, telling fans "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."
Swift, who continued her tour in London after the Vienna shows were canceled, also explained why she had not previously addressed the situation.
"Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows," she wrote. "In cases like this one, 'silence' is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it's right to. My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that."
