Pat Smir attended Taylor Swift’s concert before the «controversy» with Dave Grohl
26 june 2024 в 18:13
In a new twist in the «controversy» between Taylor Swift and Dave Grohl, another aspect was revealed. Before Dave’s statement that they play «live» during a recent Foo Fighters concert, it became known that the band’s guitarist, Pat Smear, attended the first of three pop star’s concerts at Wembley Stadium on Friday, June 21. Photos of the guitarist resurfaced in light of Dave’s comments.
Before the dispute arose, several observant fans noticed Pat in a photo taken at Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelsey’s concert. The London leg of the singer’s «Shake It Off» tour was indeed a star-studded event, and Pat also appeared in a selfie posted by concert attendee Salma Hayek on Instagram. The Venn diagram of Swifties and Foo Fighters fans was clearly very excited about the guitarist’s appearance at the concert.
Photos resurfaced in light of the dispute that arose after Dave’s comment during the band’s concert the following evening. In the middle of the performance, the musician made a joke that some interpreted as a mockery of Taylor. «You don’t want to incur the wrath of Taylor Swift», - he said. «We call our tour 'The Tour of Mistakes.' I think we’ve had a few eras and a few mistakes. Just a couple. That’s because we really play live. What? Just saying. You like live, raw rock 'n' roll music, right?»
Despite some criticism, Dave was quite animated during the comment, and it seemed more like a playful jab than a malicious attack. The former Nirvana member had previously spoken very highly of Taylor, in particular, telling a story of how the pop star performed «Best of You» at a party they attended together on The Late Late Show in 2018. Some fans also noted that Dave’s daughter, Violet, came under criticism from Swifties after she expressed her opinion on Taylor’s frequent use of a private jet.
After Dave’s comment, Taylor seemed to address this during her interaction with the audience at her own concert on Sunday, June 23. «My band, who will be playing live for three and a half hours tonight, they deserve this as much as any of my fellow performers, and you have generously given us this, and we will never forget it», - she said.
Although neither Taylor nor Dave commented directly on the situation, Pat’s attendance at the concert suggests that there is likely no «bad blood» between them
