Taylor Swift Seemingly Responds After Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl Insinuates She Doesn’t Perform Live
Dave Grohl appears to be taking shots at Taylor Swift — not like it’s Patron.
On Saturday, the 55-year-old Foo Fighters frontman appeared on stage at London Stadium and insinuated that Swift — who was performing across town at Wembley Stadium for night two of her three-day Eras Tour stop — does not play live during her shows.
Addressing the crowd, Grohl referenced the other big concert in the U.K. city and seemingly shaded the 34-year-old “You Need to Calm Down” singer, saying, “I tell you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift.”
“So we like to call our tour the ‘Errors Tour.’ We’ve had more than a few eras and more than a few f**king errors as well. Just a couple,” the singer told the audience. “That’s because we actually play live. What? Just saying. You guys like raw, live rock ‘n’ roll music, right? You came to the right f**king place.”
Less than 24 hours later, Swift — finishing out her sold-out Eras Tour stop in London — appeared to clap back at Grohl’s remarks as she shouted out her band on stage during night three. She also thanked the crowd (all 80,000 or so in attendance) for a standing ovation after the combined Folklore-Evermore set of the show.
“Every one of my band members, every single one of our crew, my band — who’s gonna be playing live for you for 3.5 hours tonight — they deserve this so much. And so does every one of my fellow performers. And you just gave that to us so generously, we will never forget it,” Swift said in videos posted online.
While she did not directly name Grohl, fans were quick to connect the “playing live” remark to the Foo Fighters band member’s comments.
