So apparently Dave Grohl smoked weed and then played a duet of a Foo Fighters song with Taylor Swift at a house party with Paul McCartney. You know, just an average party!
Last night during an acoustic set at the Cannes Lions Festival, Grohl recounted the experienceâas EW reports. âWe were at a party. Paul was there. Hanging out. Having fun. There was a piano in the room, and Paul gets up and start playing a song,â he said. âBy the way, Paul McCartney is the baddest motherfucker in the world. I donât know if you know that.â
The ânew Paul songâ was âblowing everyoneâs fucking mind,â and when it was finished, everyone turned expectantly to Dave. âWell, I donât know how to play piano. Like, I donât know what to do, man! I canât play fucking piano!â Grohl recalls thinking. âAnd then I look around and Paul McCartneyâs left-handed, so all the guitars are left-handed. âShit! God, Iâm screwed! What do I do?â And also, Iâd maybe smoked a little pot, soâ¦I was already challenged enough.â
Luckily, Taylor Swift was also at this party. âSheâs like, âIâll play a song!â Itâs like, âOh, thank god. Taylor Swiftâs here. Like fucking Batman when you need him.ââ
Grohl then tried his hand at one of McCartneyâs left-handed basses so he could play along with her. âIâm just trying to figure out how to play along to what sheâs doing,â he said. âIt was kind of like one of those nightmares where youâre running backwards.â
And then, in a moment of recognition, he looked over at his wife and said, âI know this fuckinâ songâwhat the hell is this?â The âreally beautiful thingâ Swift was playing on the piano was none other than the Foo Fightersâ âBest of Youâ (talk about being preparedâprops to you Taylor).
âAnd as if I werenât high enough, that fucking blew me into outer space, man!â Grohl said. âIt was like, wait a second. Taylor Swift. “Best of You.” Paul McCartney. Pot! I just lost my mind⦠So I sat next to her and I did this.â
Then Grohl broke out into âBest of Youâ for the Cannes crowd. What an intro.
And as we plebeians attend our keggers and pot lucks, we can rest easy knowing that, at the very least, Kanye will never slander our names in one of his songs.
