Dave Grohl Takes A Swipe At Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour: ‘We Actually Play Live’
At a Foo Fighters concert in London on Saturday, frontman Dave Grohl seemed to take a shot at Taylor Swift and her Eras Tour.
it’s funny cause the “errors” tour was a thing created by swifties which was a complication of taylor singing LIVE but messing up the lyrics. pic.twitter.com/K2BeEYcQZ5

During the show, which was at London Stadium, Grohl took a brief break to joke with the crowd and mentioned that Swift’s tour was currently taking place at London’s Wembley Stadium.
He then riffed that while Swift is performing her Eras Tour, the Foo Fighters are performing an “Errors Tour” because “we’ve had more than a few eras and more than a few fucking errors as well.”
“That’s because we actually play live, what?!” he said, shrugging his shoulders as the crowd applauded. “Just saying. We’re a live band. You guys like raw, live rock ‘n’ roll music, right? You came to the right fucking place.”
Grohl’s mention of Swift comes as a surprise, considering he’s been complimentary of her in the past. During an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Cordon” in 2018, Grohl told a story about him and Swift performing together at a party hosted by Paul McCartney.
“She gets up, and she starts playing this song, and it sounds familiar,” he said. “And I’m kind of a little bit out of it, and I’m looking at my wife, like, ‘What is this song? I know this song, what is this song?’ And she was playing the Foo Fighters song ‘Best of You.’ … She was singing it so beautiful, it sounded so great.”
