Taylor Swift has hit back at Dave Grohl after he suggested she and her band shouldn't perform live on her Eras tour.
The 55-year-old Foo Fighters frontman told the audience at his concert in London on Saturday (June 22) that he named his band's shows the “Errors Tour” because they have “a few more eras and some bullshit errors” because “that's what we actually perform live.”
Swift, 34, appeared to respond to Grohl's accusation onstage at her show at Wembley on Sunday night (June 23), where she thanked fans for attending her three-and-a-half-hour-long performance.
Addressing the 90,000 crowd at the stadium for the third London show of her Eras Tour, Swift said her band deserves “so much” recognition.
He told fans: “What you just did is an unforgettable moment in not only my life but for every single member of our crew. The band that will be performing live for you for three and a half hours tonight.
“They deserve it so much and all of my fellow actors deserve it too, and you've given it to us so generously. We'll never forget that.”
Swift fans have criticized Grohl for jokes he made about the pop star and her band. “Oh tayvoodoo is coming for her and she deserves it,” one person wrote on x/Twitter. “Can't tolerate that a woman is more talented and successful.”
Another fan said: “Wow, Grohl is so dirty he has to use Taylor's name for free PR? Shame he thought he was better than this, such a shame.”
During the third night of the Eras Tour, Swift's NFL player boyfriend Travis Kelsey made a surprise appearance onstage during the song “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”. Department of tortured poets Features a appearance as one of Swift's backup dancers on the album.

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Kelce can be seen wearing a tuxedo and black hat before he walks towards Swift, who was pretending to be dead on stage.
While Swift is usually carried on stage by a backup dancer during a concert, this time her boyfriend took the reins. After settling Swift on a red couch, he joined her for the performance, introducing her next song, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
While two backup dancers held Swift's arms and legs, Kelsey held a white fan in his hand, which he used first on himself and then on his girlfriend to wake her up.
One fan reacted: “This wasn't on my bingo card,” while another added: “This is a superstar couple I didn't think of!”
