“Every one of my band members, every single one of our crew, my band who’s gonna be playing live for you for three and a half hours tonight, they deserve this so much,” the “Bad Blood” singer, 34, said onstage Sunday after a standing ovations.

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

“i love that she is like ‘you can talk s–t about me not singing live, but do not f–king discredit the hard work of the people who do this show with me,” one social media user wrote.

Many fans pointed out that Swift does sing live as she has stopped her performances on multiple occasions to request help for audience members in distress.

Others, however, insisted that Grohl was “joking” and “never bad mouths people.”

His comments were captured in a TikTok video on Saturday, with Grohl initially calling his tour the “Errors Tour” as a play on Swift’s Eras Tour.

Swifties want to know

“I feel like we’ve had more than a few eras and more than a few f–king errors as wel,” the musician said during his London Stadium show. “Just a couple.

“That’s because we play live,” he continued before pretending to be scandalized by the apparent shade.
“What? Just saying. We’re a live band! You guys like live rock ‘n’ roll music, right? You came to the right f–king place.”

Grohl and Swift’s reps have yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The former Nirvana drummer previously declared himself a Swiftie, claiming to be “officially obsessed” with Swift back in 2015.

The singers were also all smiles when photographed together in 2008.
