Dave Grohl took a shot at Taylor Swift during a recent Foo Fighters concert and immediately created an unexpected fandom war. The rock icon, 55, spoke to the crowd between songs during a London tour stop on June 22, explaining that they had nicknamed their tour the ‘errors tour’ as a cheeky reference to Swift’s record-setting Era’s Tour – but he didn’t stop there. Grohl had referenced the tour earlier in the night, as Swift’s London show took place at Wembley Stadium the same weekend as the Foo Fighter’s London Stadium performances.
He said: ‘I know we were joking about the Taylor Swift tour earlier, I know that she’s on her Eras Tour. I’m telling you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift. ‘So we like to call our tour the errors tour because I feel like we’ve had more than a few eras and more than a few f***ing errors as well.
Just a couple.’ He then stepped away from the microphone for a moment before stepping back again to deliver a scathing remark. He said: ‘That’s because we actually play live, WHAT?!?’ ‘That’s because we actually play live! Whaaaat?!? Dave Grohl insinuates Taylor Swift does not play live! #davegrohl #foofighters #foofighterstour #erastour #taylorswift #London He then grinned and shrugged as the crowd cheered, following up the implication that the pop star lip syncs with: ‘Just saying.
You guys like live rock ‘n roll music? You came to the right f***ing place.’ Fan footage of the moment quic.
