I’m surprised the Dave Grohl drama hasn’t spilled over to here yet. From all that I’ve seen come from it over the last few days though, Swifties are the only ones really who’ve lost the plot. I mean, to be fair to the Swifties—which is rare for me to do, as they’ve become quite a cult—he flat-out stated that his band actually plays live, insinuating Taylor doesn’t and as such fully downplaying the beastly amount of stamina that a nearly 4-hour concert requires. Taylor’s proven over the past year—and always has proven—that she and her band play fully live. Maybe there’s a backing instrumental or two, but you can tell in SO many videos shared throughout the tour that it’s played and sung in real time. It was such a hilariously ridiculous claim for him to make that it shouldn’t have even been entertained—which Pulse actually was succeeding in for once

I would say that Taylor's show is "mostly" live. You can hear, especially in repeated clips of "22" that is singing along to a very prevalent backing track.

Also, like the band deserves a break in a 4-hour show too??? I don't think Foo Fighters shows are 4 hours.
The discourse around backing tracks also goes into the accusations of lip syncing and someone whose been in the industry this long should know better.

I think her synth Pop Songs are Instrumentals played. How can you Play This in real time? The Guitars, Piano and Drums are live.

Personally, I think his statement was stupid and obvious disagree with him, but seeing the responses to it from people saying he’s a nobody, a has-been, not a billionnaire, etc, as if he isn’t one of the most influential musicians of the past 30 years. It speaks a lot about their ability to respond to anything if they even believe a portion of these comebacks. On the other hand, it’s also very out of character for him. Dave is opinionated when it comes to music but isn't afraid to praise music and musicians when due, and has praised Taylor in the past. I did see one tweet suggested he said what he did in an effort to draw criticism from Swifties toward him and away from his daughter, who said something about Taylor should just drive more. If that is actually the case, it’s very sad and why I think stans continue to lose the plot.

Tbh I will never understand why a celebrity would feel the need to make a negative remark about another celebrity publicly barring any actual beef. Like, they're all well aware working with publicists what that causes smh. This need to hate on Taylor specifically lately is so stupid. She's not out here starting crap with people she's just being successful and I guess that's a problem. lol 🙄🤷♀️ The petty part of me wishes she would just drop the persona and hit these folks with a direct catty response every time. 😂 But....I ain't tryna have her have Nicki's twitter reputation so maybe that's for the best. 😂
