AceShowbiz - Dave Grohl unleashed his inner Swiftie when he performed at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Norwich, England on Sunday, May 24. Serving as headliner along with his Foo Fighters bandmates, the rocker took the stage right after Taylor Swift's set and showed some love for the pop superstar by dedicating not only one, but three songs to her.
"Congregation" off the Foos' "Sonic Highways" album was the first song Grohl dedicated to Swift. "I'm officially obsessed - she might want to get a restraining order," he joked in front of the crowd at Earlham Park before launching into the track, which he said was written in Nashville that Swift used to call home when she was a country artist.
"I'm all about Swift. I'm going to dedicate this song to Taylor Swift, how about that? This one goes out to my opening band, Taylor Swift," he continued.
