Dave Grohl takes aim at Taylor Swift: “We actually play live”

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has gotten into trouble with Taylor Swift fans.

During the band’s concert at the London Stadium on Saturday night, 55-year-old Grohl apparently made fun of Swift’s singing skills. The “Cruel Summer” singer was also in London to stop at Wembley Stadium as part of her Eras tour.

“I’m telling you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift. We like to call our tour the ‘Errors Tour,'” said the Foo Fighters frontman in Video shared on social media.

He continued, “We’ve had more than a few eras and more than a few mistakes. Just a few. That’s because we actually play live. What? Just by the way.”

After the obvious dig at Swift’s three-and-a-half-hour show, Grohl said: “You like raw, live rock’n’roll music, right? Then you’ve come to the right place.”
