Federer steals the show at Coldplay concert—Is he the most beloved athlete ever?

None can escape from Roger Federer‘s charm, even if they are Coldplay! From inspiring musical bands to becoming a part of it and finally joining the Swifties, it seems Federer’s musical era has just begun. The 20-time Grand Slam champion made his on-stage debut last year at the Coldplay(rock band) concert. However, more was to come, as after ending his tennis circuit tours, Federer went on a concert tour, and carried on the momentum this year too. After a recent stop at Zurich for Taylor Swift, the legend is back to Coldplay!

“We went to a lot of concerts last year”– revealed Federer as he shared his life after retirement and connected with kids. And his passion for music seems to be growing every passing day since then. After enjoying the enthralling music of Taylor Swift, Federer routed to Rome to catch Coldplay in action with his twins. Guess who caught his presence in the audience? Chris Martin himself! And what followed next had Federer smiling and blushing!

Martin, in the middle of their concert, took a few moments to cherish their band’s honorary fifth member. Requesting the fans to “hold on”, as he paused to make the ‘beautiful’ Federer blush. “Who is this sexy guy?”-asked Martin, leaving Federer smiling ear to ear as he looked around. However, this was not all. Martin created a song on the spot for his beautiful brother!

“Roger, my beautiful brother, who is the greatest tennis player of all time. You were so good at sports, but who would have thought that you would show up looking so beautiful and fine?” As fans went into a frenzy, as they enjoyed best of both the worlds at Rome.

Federer became their fifth member last year, as he joined the famous 4 of Coldplay on the stage to play ‘shaker-thing.’ However, it seems that Federer is more interested in being a fan rather than executing music, as the tennis star chose to stay in the audience to sing the songs with his kids.

While Wimbledon is at the cusp of conclusion, the King of Grass is grooving at Viva La Vida, with his kids! Though this should not be surprising as after enjoying some amazing tennis at the Grass court, Federer made a hush-hush exit from Wimbledon to land at Taylor Swift’s concert.

Have an interesting take?

When tennis legend became a ‘Swiftie’ on a “musical tour” 

Federer tried his hands at scuba diving, playing Golf, a documentary, collaborating with Louis Vuitton, and saying no to commentating as he tried to find a way to stay in touch with tennis. However, after a lot of hits and trials, Federer has found something he is enjoying more than any other option: music!

In an interview with People, Federer opened up about his journey to the concerts since last year. And shocking the legend already had his itinerary ready for this year. After enjoying the stage with Coldplay, he said, “But we also saw [Bruce] Springsteen twice, and Elton John. This summer Taylor Swift is coming to Switzerland, so of course we’ll go to that, and ACDC too.” Federer is certainly enjoying this new tour!

It’s not uncommon for tennis stars to deep dive into music. The American sensation Coco Gauff has a long list of favorites already! However, after retirement, Federer went a step further as he enjoys grooving to live concerts with his family whenever and wherever possible.
