Do Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Taylor Swift have bad blood?
The “Smells Like Teen Spirit” singer left Swifties convinced he shaded the pop star when he appeared to suggest she doesn’t perform live during his own Manchester, England, performance.
The rocker, 55, was onstage with his band at the London Stadium Saturday when he told the audience he was “feeling like Taylor Swift.”

He explained, “Listen — tonight, this is my Eras Tour, OK? I’ve got a lot of eras. Spelled e-r-r-o-r-s. This is my Errors Tour, how about that? … That’s what we should’ve called this f–king tour: The Errors Tour.”
Later in the concert, Grohl said he was “joking about the Taylor Swift tour earlier,” telling booing fans he didn’t “want to suffer [her] wrath.”
The rock star called his show the Error Tour again, citing “more than a few eras and more than a few f–king errors as well.”
He then quipped, “That’s because we play live.”
As fans cheered, Grohl asked, “What? Just saying. We’re a live band! You guys like live rock ‘n’ roll music, right? You came to the right f–king place.”
Several Swifties took to X to comment on Grohl’s “disappointing” comments.
“My respect for Dave Grohl just plummeted! Trying to undermine the most talented and successful female artist of the moment who’s sold out 150 stadium shows & performing a 3.5 hour very LIVE set is incredibly lame! Jealousy doesn’t suit you Dave!” another wrote, referencing Swift’s record-breaking tour.
“Dave Grohl may have found himself on the wrong side of Swifties,” a second added, while others rushed to the musician’s defense and insisted he had been making a “joke.”
“Anybody who knows anything about Dave Grohl already knows there isn’t an ounce of negativity behind those words,” one social media user commented, with another claiming he “never bad mouths people.”
A third added, “I love Dave Grohl @foofighters. I love @taylorswift13 too. It was a joke, a bit of banter IMO.”
Pvnew has reached out to Swift and Grohl’s reps for comment.
The “Cruel Summer” singer, who embarked on her Eras Tour in 2023 and has been performing at London’s Wembley Stadium all weekend, is notably known to sing live as she’s stopped her performances to help fans in distress.
Grohl declared himself a Swiftie in 2015, telling BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend listeners that he was “officially obsessed.”
He dedicated a song to her, joking, “She might want to get a restraining order, ‘cause I’m all about T. Swift.”
