News Now: Courtney Love says Taylor Swift ‘is not Important’ and ‘not intresting as an artist’ in bombshell interview
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”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.”It’s great that there are so many successful women in the music industry, but lots of them are becoming a cliché,” she told the outlet. “Now, every successful woman is cloned, so there is just too much music.
They’re all the same. If you play something on Spotify, you get bombarded with a lot of stuff that’s exactly the same. I mean, I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it’s about Black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed, not that I like it much. As a concept, I love it. I just don’t like her music.”
