Coldplay have performed a Taylor Swift song during their show in Vienna.

Swift had been scheduled to play at the Austrian capital’s Ernst Happel Stadium in early August, but the three sold-out shows were cancelled after police uncovered an alleged plot by suspected terrorists.

The alleged foiled terrorist attack came days after an attack in Southport in which three young girls were killed in a mass stabbing at a holiday club Swift-themed event.

Grammy award winner Swift paid tribute to the victims, saying she was “completely in shock” after the “horrendous trauma”.

The cancelled Vienna dates formed part of the European leg of her Eras Tour, which concluded on Tuesday.
