Taylor Swift defended her band after Dave Grohl 's took a swipe at the superstar during Foo Fighters ' London show.
The global superstar – who is currently on her Eras World Tour – made a point of announcing her band play live for the entirety of her three and a half hours set. She said: "What you just did is an unforgettable moment in not just my life, but every very single one of our crew. The band that'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'll never forget it." It comes after Dave took a swipe at Taylor during Foo Fighters' Saturday night gig at the London Stadium.
Dave, whose band Foo Fighters have previously played Wembley Stadium on numerous occasions, referred to Taylor playing on the same night on the other side of the capital. As some boos could be heard from the audience, Dave warned: "You don't want the f****g Swifties on your a**."
He continued: "Anyway when we f****g played Wembley I remember our manager said, 'Do you want to play Wembley?' And I was like, 'Yeah that would be f****g great but I don't really know if we can because I don't know who is going to show up and then you motherf****s came and gave us the biggest shows we'd ever played in our lives."

"So we like to call our tour the Errors Tour. We've have more than a few Errors and more than a few f****g Eras as well." The Foo Fighters frontman clarified: "Just a couple...that's because we actually play live. What?'
As the crowd burst into huge cheers, he added: "Just saying. You guys like raw live rock 'n' roll music right? You came to the right f***ing place!"
The Foo Fighters star has previously been complimentary of the pop superstar with the rock frontman praising the singer's decision to re-record her albums. He also previously revealed how she "saved" him while he performed at a party held by Sir Paul McCartney.
Fans were left confused over the Foo Fighters star's comments as one tweeted: "I find people like Dave Grohl shitting on Taylor Swift so fascinating because 1. He’s spoken highly of her before, 2. They’re not remotely in competition and 3. If he’d literally said, I feel like Taylor Swift, she’s doing something really cool, swifties would’ve RALLIED to them."
However, others suggested Dave's swipe at Taylor and the "Swifties" could be related to his daughter, Violet being trolled online after she hit out at Taylor in a now-deleted tweet questioning her carbon footprint. She wrote: "Why can't Taylor Swift just drive like everyone else."
One fan shared: "Wow I wonder what prompted Dave Grohl to take a little swipe at Taylor Swift? I’m sure it’s totally unprovoked & not at all to do with his 17-year-old daughter being relentlessly trolled & sent death threats from Swifties because of this totally innocuous tweet back in January."
