Courtney Love says Taylor Swift ‘is not important’ and ‘not interesting as an artist’ in bombshell interview
Courtney Love took aim at Taylor Swift’s artistic merits in a new interview, saying the wildly-popular musical artist ‘is not important’ nor ‘interesting as an artist.’
The Hole singer, 59, speaking with The Evening Standard Friday, ‘Taylor is not important. 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 Doll Parts vocalist, who has been based out of London since 2019, appears to have changed her tune about Swift, who she previously praised on multiple occasions via her Facebook page.
In a February 29, 2016 post, she posed between Swift and Royals songstress Lorde, 27, after attending the Grammys in Los Angeles.
‘Lovely ladies @taylorswift @lordemusic these two win the Oscar for art, talent, voice and astonishing beauty, hands down! #oscars #vanityfair,’ Love said in the caption.
The Malibu artist again paid homage to Swift in a December 22, 2021 post wishing Swift a happy belated birthday.
The Celebrity Skin performer, who reposted the pic they took at the Grammys five years earlier, called Swift an ‘aspirational huge role model for many young women.’
Swift – who was pictured at the Coachella Music Festival over the weekend with beau Travis Kelce – was not the only musical artist Love took shots at in the interview, as Lana Del Rey, 38, and Madonna, 65, and Beyonce, 42, also were the target of the grunge artist’s ire.
