Taylor Swift recently responded to Dave Grohl's joke about "Errors Tour."
The buzz started when the Foo Fighters frontman joked about Swift and her Eras Tour during his band's show in London on Saturday, June 22.
"I tell you man, you don't want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift," he told their fans. "So we like to call our tour 'the Errors Tour.' We've had more than a few eras - and more than a few f------ errors as well. Just a couple. That's because we actually play live... what?!"
After giving the audience a moment to laugh at the joke, Grohl told the crowd they surely like "raw live rock n' roll music" and that they "came to the right f------ place."

On Sunday, June 23, "The Tortured Poets Department" singer seemingly responded to Grohl's statement in front of her nearly 100,000 attendees at her third London show.
Swift said her band deserved so much recognition, and her fans gave it to them generously.
"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," she shared.

Swifties criticized Grohl afterward.
"Once again men bashing Taylor for literally no reason she didn't do anything wrong and they feel the need to talk about her," one said, while a second wrote, "an old washed up miserable man using her name at a desperate last attempt to recover his dying career... next."
However, the comment was initially misinterpreted by Elon Musk's chatbot Grok.
The bot on X connected the comment to the "current culture wars," sharing, "Dave Grohl, the lead singer of Foo Fighters, made comments during a concert in London suggesting that Taylor Swift doesn't perform live, which sparked a significant backlash from Swift's fans, known as Swifties, across social media platforms."
Grok also prompted the message about the comments being perceived as "unnecessary and spiteful by many" which led to a heated online debate.
Still, the bot reminded the users with its standard poorly-written warning of inaccuracy: "Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs."
