Dave Grohl, the lead singer of Foo Fighters, has sparked controversy among Taylor Swift fans.

At their Saturday night concert at London Stadium, Dave Grohl, 55, appeared to criticize Taylor Swift's singing abilities. Swift, known for "Cruel Summer," was concurrently performing in London for her Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium.

"I tell you, man, you don't want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift. We like to call our tour the 'Errors Tour,'" remarked the Foo Fighters frontman in a video posted on social media.

He added, "We've had more than a few eras, and more than a few errors as well. Just a couple. That's because we actually play live. What? Just saying."

After the implied criticism of Swift's three-and-a-half-hour performance, Grohl remarked, "You guys like raw, live rock 'n' roll music, right? You came to the right place."

How did Taylor Swift respond to Dave Grohl’s comments?

Swift, aged 34, appeared to address Grohl during her Eras show on Sunday, pausing to express gratitude to her team for their stamina during the performance.

In a video posted on X, she stated, "every one of my band members, every single one of our crew, my band who's going to be playing live for you for three and a half hours tonight, they deserve this so much."

"And so does every one of my fellow performers. And you just gave that to us so generously, we will never forget it."
