NEWSDave Grohl Refuses to Explain Why He Thinks Taylor Swift Doesn't Sing Live After Throwing Shade at Pop Star
Dave Grohl previously snubbed Taylor Swift — and now he's done the same to a reporter asking about the pop star.
Dave Grohl is pleading the fifth when it comes to elaborating on his criticism of Taylor Swift.
On Thursday, August 1, the Foo Fighters frontman completely ignored a question about his previous claims that the pop icon doesn't sing live during her record-breaking Eras Tour performances.
Dave Grohl dodged a question about his comments claiming Taylor Swift doesn't sing live.
"A lot of people online thought your statements on Taylor not playing live weren’t fair. Why do you think she doesn’t sing live?" a reporter asked Grohl in Los Angeles, however, the 55-year-old opted to stay silent rather than explain himself.
In a video of the interaction, Grohl could be seen looking unbothered, as he smoked a cigarette and hopped into his car before providing an answer to the journalist's question.
Dave Grohl accused Taylor Swift of lip-syncing during her Eras Tour shows.
Despite remaining mute, Grohl's facial expressions seemed to prove he heard the question, as he widened his eyes and lifted his eyebrows while clearly dodging the reporter's inquiry.
The former Nirvana drummer's recent sighting in L.A. comes more than one month after he first made the snarky comments about Swift during his concert at London Stadium in Stratford, East London back in June. At the time, Swift had simultaneously been putting on a string of performances at Wembley Stadium in England's capital.
Dave Grohl is the lead singer, guitarist and principal songwriter of the Foo Fighters.
"I know we were joking about the Taylor Swift tour earlier. I know that she’s on her Eras Tour. I’m telling you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift," Grohl snubbed at one point during his show.
He continued: "So we like to call our tour 'The Errors Tour' because I feel like we’ve had more than a few eras and more than a few f------ errors as well."

"That’s because we actually play live," Grohl slighted, suggesting Swift lip-syncs during her concerts despite the "Cruel Summer" hitmaker proving otherwise. "What? Just saying. You guys like raw, live rock 'n' roll music, right? You came to the right f------ place."
While Swift didn't directly address Grohl in response to his remarks, the 34-year-old made it a point to emphasize the hard work of her live band and crew during her concert at Wembley the following night.
Taylor Swift fans rallied against Dave Grohl after he shaded the singer back in June.
"Every one of my band members, every single one of our crew, my band who’s gonna be playing live for you for 3.5 hours tonight, they deserve this so much," the "Love Story" singer said, signaling a round of applause from the crowd. "And so does every one of my fellow performers. And you just gave that to us so generously, we will never forget it."
That same night, Swift iconically brought out her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, 34, as a backup dancer for part of her performance of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."
