Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show in London after his bandmate Dave Grohl criticized the “Cruel Summer” singer.

Smear, 64, was spotted at Swift’s concert at Wembley Stadium on Sunday alongside Salma Hayek and Stella McCartney in a photo the actress shared on Instagram.

“Living our wildest dreams 🎤 gracias @taylorswift 🎉🎉#taylorswift #swifties,” she captioned the post.

Hayek, 57, also posted snaps with “Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan, Leslie Mann, Jonathan Van Ness and her 16-year-old daughter Valentina.

Smear joined her in a VIP tent, where Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Cara Delevingne were also among the guests.

The night before, Smear had played a Foo Fighters show at the London Stadium, where 55-year-old Grohl suggested Swift would not sing live on her successful world tour.

Grohl hinted during his concert that Swift does not sing live.

“We were joking earlier about the Taylor Swift tour. I know she’s on her Eras tour,” Grohl told the crowd, some of whom booed the “All Too Well” singer.

The band’s lead singer then added: “I’m telling you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift.

“That’s why we like to call our tour the Errors Tour. We’ve lived through more than a few eras and more than a few damn mistakes too. Just a few. That’s because we actually play live. What?”

He told his fans that if they like “raw live rock’n’roll music” they were “in the right place.”

Swift apparently responded to Grohl’s comment during her show on Sunday, when she assured the audience that her entire set would be performed live.

“What you just did is an unforgettable moment not only in my life, but for every single member of our crew, the band that will be playing live for you tonight for three and a half hours,” she said.

“You deserve this so much, as does every one of my castmates,” she continued, “and you have given this to us so generously. We will never forget it.”

Neither Swift nor Grohl, who apparently got along well in the past, directly addressed the controversial remarks.

Regardless, Smear seems to be shaking it off.
