Crowd Goes Wild as Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl Appears to Take a Shot at Taylor Swift
During a Foo Fighters concert in London, Dave Grohl seemed to criticize Taylor Swift by insinuating that she does not perform live, in contrast to his band. This comment was part of Grohl’s remarks where he humorously referred to his own tour as the “Errors Tour,” playing on the name of Swift’s “Eras Tour.” Grohl’s comments at the London Stadium, amid cheers from the crowd, were in proximity to Swift’s concurrent Eras Tour performance at Wembley Stadium. The incident, captured on video and shared widely on social media, drew critical reactions from Swift’s fans. Some responses accused Grohl of jealousy and unprofessionalism, highlighting Swift’s success and the prominence of her supporters including celebrities. Swift subtly responded without naming Grohl, emphasizing that her team deserved recognition for performing live for extensive hours. The exchange highlights a tension between differing perceptions of live performance authenticity in the music industry.

Musician Dave Grohl, the frontman of the rock band Foo Fighters, appeared to take a shot at pop star Taylor Swift during a concert in London over the weekend.
According to BuzzFeed, Grohl and the band were performing at London Stadium on Saturday, across town from where Swift was continuing her Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium.
In a clip that was first posted on the platform TikTok, Grohl insinuated that Swift did not play her music live.

@strettyend ‘That’s because we actually play live! Whaaaat?!? Dave Grohl insinuates Taylor Swift does not play live! #davegrohl #foofighters #foofighterstour #erastour #taylorswift #London ♬ original sound – strettyend
“So we like to call our tour the ‘Errors Tour,’” Grohl said in a reference to Swift’s global tour name.
“We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few f****** errors as well,” he added. “Just a couple.”
Do you enjoy attending concerts?
Grohl concluded, “That’s because we actually play live.”
The crowd went wild over the comment.
A clip of the video that went viral on the social media platform X resulted in some of Swift’s fans taking shots at the former Nirvana drummer:
As does she. Expect the apology. I love Dave but, it sounds like middle-age man grousing. Just no. It’s 2024 and the top selling record, concerts belong to a woman. Deal.

this was so unnecessary and so beneath him. I’ve been a lifelong fan of Dave Grohl but this is just cheap and intentionally provocative.

Great, an older man making jokes about a woman that is dominating the music world right now, how original. I thought he was one of the good ones.

Taylor Swift is performing eight sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium, drawing thousands of fans outside the venue and millions more on livestreams every weekend, while Dave Grohl complains about her at his own concert.

Paul McCartney, Bon Jovi, and Tom Cruise going to Taylor’s show. Maybe he was jealous so he took it out on Taylor.

Wow Grohl so washed he has to use Taylor’s name for free pr? Embarrassing thought he was better than that what a shame

A BuzzFeed noted, Swift appeared to acknowledge Grohl’s comments on Sunday during a show when she said her band would be playing live – although she did not mention the “Everlong” singer by name.
“Every one of my band members, every single one of our crew, my band — who’s gonna be playing live for you for three and a half hours tonight — they deserve this so much,” she said to fans who had been cheering her on.
