Taylor Swift has taken a break from singing about John Mayer and her ex-boyfriends to tackle a Coldplay cover. The country star performed an acoustic cover of the British band’s “Viva La Vida” when she stopped by the BBC Radio 2 studio.

Swift plucked her custom guitar while being backed by two of her band members. She sings the verses in a soft near-whisper before flaring up for the choruses.
Swift also gave an acoustic performance of “Mine,” the first single from her upcoming album “Speak Now,” which hits retailers on Monday (Oct. 25).
