Dave Grohl keeps mother.
The Foo Fighters frontman dodged a question about Taylor Swift after being spotted by a TMZ videographer in Los Angeles on Thursday, August 1. In June, Grohl, 55, made headlines when he appeared to insinuate that the pop star does not perform live.
“Many people online thought your statements about Taylor not playing live were unfair. Why do you think she doesn’t sing live?” the videographer asks Grohl in a video published by TMZ on Thursday. However, Grohl, who can be seen smoking a cigarette, remains silent as he gets into a car.
During a concert in London in June, Grohl joked with the audience: “I know we were joking before about the Taylor Swift tour. I know she’s on her Eras tour. I’m telling you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift.

More than colleagues. Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl played together in Foo Fighters for 25 years, but their friendship also blossomed outside the studio. When the duo first met in the mid-1990s, Grohl was already world famous as the drummer for Nirvana. However, in April 1994 the band’s career came to a tragic end […]
He continued, “So we like to call our tour ‘The Error Tour’ because I feel like we’ve had more than a few eras and more than a few f–king mistakes too.”
“That’s because we’re actually playing live,” Grohl said. “What? Just sayin’. You guys like raw, live rock ‘n’ roll music, right? You’ve come to the right place.”
Grohl made the comments as the Foo Fighters and Swift, 34, played dueling gigs in the British capital on June 22. Swift performed at Wembley Stadium, while Grohl and company performed at the London Stadium in Stratford, East London.
During her concert at Wembley the following night, Swift appeared to respond to Grohl’s comments as she thanked her live band and crew.
“All my bandmates, every member of our crew, my band that’s going to play live for you for 3.5 hours tonight, they deserve this so much,” Swift said, encouraging her fans to cheer for her band. per footage posted on social media. “And that also applies to all my fellow artists. And you just gave that to us so generously that we will never forget it.”
Swift also brought her boyfriend along Travis Kelce on stage during the same show. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end took part in a dance routine before her rendition of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
The “Fortnight” singer returns to Wembley five more times Eras tour concerts from August 15 to August 20.
