Dave Grohl criticized Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, suggesting the singer doesn’t sing live, while on stage in London last night.
The Foo Fighters frontman attacked the queen of pop, calling her sold-out tour the ‘mistakes’ tour and joking that his band ‘really plays live’.
While performing at the London Stadium, he referred to Swift as she performed that same night across the capital at Wembley, prompting boos from some fans.
He addressed the crowd: “We were joking earlier about Taylor Swift’s tour. I know she’s on her ‘mistakes’ tour.
‘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 Tour of Mistakes.

The singer called Swift’s tour the ‘Errors Tour’ and suggested the queen of pop didn’t perform live.
Addressing his fans at the London Stadium on Saturday night, Grohl said they were in the right place to enjoy “raw, live rock ‘n’ roll music.”
‘We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few damn mistakes too. Just a couple.’
The band’s leader clarified: ‘That’s because we actually play live. That?’
To great applause, he continued: ‘I’m just saying. You guys like live rock ‘n’ roll music, right?
‘You’ve come to the right fucking place!’
Grohl and Swift have gotten along well before, with the former praising the latter’s decision to re-record her albums, bringing back her back catalogue.
Grohl also once talked about how Swift “saved” him after she helped him while he was performing at a party thrown by Sir Paul McCartney.
Some users said Grohl’s attack was motivated by the abuse his daughter received from Swift fans after criticizing the singer-songwriter for traveling on a private jet.
Some online users were unimpressed with Grohl’s mocking of Swift, who has sold more than 200 million records worldwide.
One wrote: ‘Oh Tayvoodoo is coming for him and he deserves it. I can’t stand it when a woman is more talented and successful.
‘Wow, Grohl is so washed up that he has to use Taylor’s name for free. It’s embarrassing to think it was better than that, what a shame,” said another user.
Some fans suggested that Grohl’s attack was fueled in part by the abuse his daughter faced from Swifties, Taylor Swift’s fans.
