Emily Bluntis saying she’s sorry toChris Martinthe best way she knows how: in song.
After the Coldplay frontman complained onTheEllen DeGeneresShowabout Blunt and her husbandJohn Krasinskisnubbing his idea forA Quiet Place: The Musical, theDevil Wears Pradaactress made a visit to DeGeneres’ talk show to apologize — taking the mic and singing Martin a tune of regret.
“It’s sort of a way for me begging forgiveness,” she explained. “Chris, I love you, always have, always will, and I’m very sorry.”
“Please don’t go, please don’t go, please don’t go,” she later sang, joking, “I’m going to want free tickets to your show.”
Earlier onEllen, Blunt, 36 — who starred inA Quiet Placealongside Krasinski, the film’s director and co-writer — explained why she had ignored Martin’s message.
He had apparently sent video of himself trying out the idea for a musical adaptation of the hit 2018 sci-fi thriller. His video just showed him pretending to play a piano and silently mouthing words to a song.

Though Martin, 42, previously said he thought Blunt and Krasinski didn’t appreciate his joke, it turns out, it was merely a case of Blunt’s bad habit of not immediately responding to text messages.
“I honestly was horrified when I watched that because I realize I’m not the best texter-backer in general,” she said. “He sent us this very sweet, funny video of him mimingA Quiet Place: The Musicaland I watched it at 11 p.m. at night next to John — we’re about to go to bed — and I remember going, ‘Oh that’s so so sweet and so funny, I will write back in the morning.’ [And I] forgot to write back in the morning!”
Blunt went on to explain that she didn’t even know Martin, saying that the singer got her number from his girlfriend Dakota Johnson, Blunt’s costar on 2012’sThe Five-Year Engagement.
“I’ve never even really met Chris Martin!” Blunt said. “I almost did, years ago. And I feel like if I had met him years ago, this would have salvaged this entire situation. We would have inevitably been best friends and this would have never happened. We’d be makingA Quiet Place: The Musical!”

Also onEllen, Blunt layed into Krasinksi, 40, for placing the blame about the situation earlier solely on her.
TheOfficealum had commented onEllen‘s Instagram about Martin’s gripe — saying, “I… did not get an email from Chris Martin. The man is a world treasure. Are you kidding me!?!? Emily what have you done!?!?”
That didn’t sit well with Blunt, who teased her husband of 10 years (they share daughters Hazel, 5, and Violet, 3).
Meanwhile, jokes aside, a sequel toA Quiet Placeis come in March, with Blunt reprising her role.
Krasinski won’t star in the movie again but did return to write the script and once again and direct his wife.
“My favorite thing about shootingA Quiet Placefor sure was working with John,” Blunt told reporters backstage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2019, after winning the night’s best supporting actress honor for her role in the film.
A Quiet Place Part IIopens in theaters on March 20, 2020.
