Chris Martin’s daughter, Apple, is following in her famous father’s footsteps as she seems to have inherited her passion for singing from the Coldplay frontman.
A video of Apple, 21, performing a song on stage with the band Jade Street in Nashville, Tennessee, is going viral on TikTok as it marks her singing debut. The socialite, who is the daughter of Chris, 48, and his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, 53, softly sang on the stage in a casual look, sporting a white camisole midriff top and short bottoms.
Apple’s critics, who was previously slammed her for her seemingly “mean-girl” antics, were quick to mock her vocal abilities.

You do have your own unique voice and talent, but I can hear both Mom and Dad in your voice and it gives me chills!
