Courtney Love apparently doesn't like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Lana Del Rey and Madonna for various reasons

This was blowing up on twitter and thought I'd share
"I feel like this the case of I don't like how popular these people are and I don't understand why people like it" from her point of view lol

Seems like pure haterade and little else.

It's the peak of 'talking out of both sides of your mouth' calling someone "The Madonna of now" and "Not important" in the same breath

No, Courtney. It's about Black women going into spaces that Black women helped build.

But go off, I guess.

She opened for Lana during one of her tours. I remember cause I had to sit through it and she chastised the audience for not knowing her music.

I thought she was friends with Lana... she's affectionately referenced on a Chemtrails over the country club track iirc?

Love is always beefing with someone, she seems unhappy.

Does she like anyone lmao? I read the interview and every modern artist she claimed to like, she says she stopped liking at some point.

I'm not really a general Taylor listener myself (even though Folklore stands out specifically as my jam), but saying she's not important or interesting as an artist just seems objectively untrue on both counts. Her style's evolution and business savvy are both some of the most interesting in the entire genre.

This is who Courtney Love is, always been outspoken about her tastes in music.

I respect Taylor Swift and all she has done, but I don't find any of the music I have heard by her to be particularly interesting either. Live Through This, however, was one of the best albums of the 90s.

It's 30 years since Live Through This as of this week and she's just being a hater instead of celebrating her own wins.

Musician has opinions on music but she's famously someone not afraid to step on toes, so, it is what it is, I'm sure the people she talks about also have opinions on the work of Hole.

Courtney Love attempts to remind people about her by shitting on tons of popular people is what it seems.

I'm far from a Swiftie but saying the biggest pop star in the world isn't important would be like saying Fortnite doesn't matter to gaming.

saying an artist's (taylor) work is not interesting is completely ok. Saying Taylor's not important is objectively untrue whether you like her or not.

More musicians should have opinions on other acts. We need to return to scenes actively shitting on other artists. Music is better for it.

Calling it a style evolution and business savvy makes the point about the music itself not being interesting. Her quote sounds like important from a music sense. Not making money.

On one hand I don't really care about any of those artists either.
But on the other hand rather then shitting on a bunch of artists I'd rather see her shout out the artists she does like.
