\n\tColdplay<\/a> had a special surprise in store for fans on Sunday (May 26) during their headlining set closing out BBC Radio 1\u2019s Big Weekend Festival. While preparing to perform the Ghost Stories<\/em> favorite \u201cMagic,\u201d singer Chris Martin alluded to the fact that his band has been a staple of the event for the past decade. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve been playing this, one Big Weekend since we were basically children,\u201d Martin said. \u201cAnd the reason we play one Big Weekend is because without Radio 1, we would never have kept our jobs.\u201d Then, the singer self-deprecatingly introduced one of the festival\u2019s other performers, Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, telling the crowd, \u201cWhat we\u2019d like to do, to say thank you to you for being so wonderful for the whole three days is bring on a singer who\u2019s much younger, more beautiful, more successful, better in every way, and sing a song of ours that is okay but make it really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the crowd properly hyped, Martin added, \u201cWelcome, from America, U.S.A., Sabrina Carpenter, let\u2019s go!\u201d Carpenter seemed as jazzed as the audience, responding, \u201cGive it up for Coldplay! What the hell?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe band \u2014 who have frequently<\/a> invited guest stars<\/a> up to join them<\/a> during the epic two-year Music of the Spheres road trip \u2014 leaned into the song\u2019s spare intro, as Martin and Carpenter harmonized, \u201cCall it magic\/ Call it true\/ I call it magic\/ When I\u2019m with you,\u201d while a graphic of a man trapped inside a top hat struggling to hold on to a woman blowing away from him screened behind them.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt wasn\u2019t the only time during the Coldplay set that the 25-year-old singer\/actress made her way into their repertoire. While playing their beloved ballad \u201cFix You,\u201d a few songs earlier, Martin playfully slipped in a shot of Carpenter\u2019s hit \u201cEspresso\u201d into the song to the crowd\u2019s delight, as he sang, \u201cThat\u2019s that me, espresso.\u201d<\/p>\n
