Bey tells it like it is! Though they’re pals and collaborators in real life, Super Bowl headliner Chris Martin noted that he hasn’t always seen eye to eye with Beyoncé.
In his new cover story for Rolling Stone, the Coldplay frontman, 38, revealed that he once presented Queen Bey, 34, with a song called “Hook Up.”
Noting that Beyoncé rejected the song “in the sweetest way possible,” Martin added, “She told me, ‘I really like you — but this is awful.’”
Luckily, the pair were able to move past the tune and perform together on Sunday, February 7, at Super Bowl 50 in Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. After Martin and his band opened the show, Beyoncé made a grand entrance, singing and dancing to her new song “Formation,” leading many fans to claim the pop diva had upstaged the British rocker.
While Beyoncé and Martin shared the stage, his famous ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, watched their kids and Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy, 4, in the stands.
In March 2014, Paltrow, 43, announced that she and Martin would begin the process of “conscious uncoupling” after 10 years of marriage.
“I have a very wonderful separation-divorce,” Martin told Rolling Stone. “It’s a divorce — but it’s a weird one … I see it as more like you meet someone, you have some time together and things just move through.”
The exes share daughter Apple, 11, and son Moses, 9.
