CELEBRITY
When speaking her mind about other female musicians such as Taylor Swift, Courtney Love does not hold back. She believes that Swift is not significant.
Courtney Love is not mincing words when it comes to how she feels about other female artists like Taylor Swift.
“Taylor is not important,” Love, 59, told the Evening Standard in a new profile published Friday, April 12, while promoting her new eight-part BBC Radio 6 series, Courtney Love’s Women, in which she reflects on women in music who have shaped her career and journey.
She added, “She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.” The “Celebrity Skin” rocker’s comments about Swift, 35, did not go over well with fans, many of whom shared their grievances via X. “100 years from now, the name Courtney Love will mean nothing. Not a single person will know who she is. But when Taylor Swift is mentioned, people will remember how she was able to connect with millions of people through her music, cherished her fans, and fought for artists’ rights,” wrote one fan.
