Taylor Swift isn’t new to criticism she receives from other artists of the industry. From accusations of blocking smaller artists from charts, to criticism on her performance on shows- Swift has seen it all and is most likely numb to it.
In a new turn of events, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters appears to have taken a subtle jab at Swift. Known for his outspoken nature and raw authenticity, Grohl’s comments have sparked controversy, suggesting that Swift may not always perform live during her concerts. Here’s what he said.
Dave Grohl Accuses Taylor Swift Of Not Performing Live
The front man of Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl, seemed to have poked Taylor Swift’s live performances during the band’s performance at London Stadium on Saturday night.
“I tell you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift,” Grohl remarked on stage, noting that Swift’s Eras Tour was presently happening in London’s Wembley Stadium. He then added, “So we like to call our tour the ‘Errors Tour.’ We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few fucking errors as well. Just a couple.”
