Taylor Swift Brings ‘Eras Tour’ to London: Which Surprise Songs Did She Perform During Acoustic Set?
The following day, the Foo Fighters performed at London Stadium, where Grohl, 55, seemingly took a jab at Swift, 34, implying that the “22” singer doesn't perform live.
“I tell you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift,” Grohl said in a clip that has gone viral on social media.
He added, “So we like to call our tour the ‘Errors Tour.’ We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few f—king errors as well. Just a couple. That’s because we actually play live. What? Just saying. You guys like raw, live rock ‘n’ roll music, right? You came to the right f—king place.”
Every Time Travis Kelce Supported Taylor Swift at Her ‘Eras Tour’ Concerts
During Swift’s third Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Swift appeared to subtly clap back at the Foo Fighters’ frontman.
“Every one of my band members, every single one of our crew, my band who’s gonna be playing live for you for 3.5 hours tonight, they deserve this so much,” Swift told the audience. “And so does every one of my fellow performers. And you just gave that to us so generously, we will never forget it.”
Swift has made it clear that she sings live recently, stopping mid-song various times recently to help fans in the audience who need medical assistance as they battle the summer heat.
Smear has been with the Foo Fighters since their formation in 1994. He left the band in 1997, rejoined as a touring guitarist in 2005 and became a full-time member again in 2010. He has also been a member of The Germs, Twisted Roots, and toured with Nirvana for six months.

The tour kicked off on May 1 in Dallas and is scheduled to wrap on August 18 in Seattle.
