In a recent interview, Courtney Love criticized Taylor Swift and stated that she is “not important.”
Love sat with The standard to promote his new eight-part series, Courtney Love’s Women, on BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Sounds. Through the series, Love plans to reflect on the women in her industry who have paved her own path.
When asked about certain women, like Taylor Swift, he didn’t necessarily have good things to say. “People used to say I was very difficult,” Love said. “They said it was unpleasant. Yes, I am completely unpleasant and I will never apologize for that.”
She then mentioned that she actually “wanted to be known as a bitch,” while her late husband Kurt Cobain “wanted to be liked.”
“Pleasing was never my thing,” he added. “[Kurt] I was able to hide behind me, but then they hated me. Then Kurt died and the hatred for me reached a whole new level. “I didn’t plan that.”
Love added that she was inspired by Bob Dylan’s indifference to her image in Do not look back.
“I had great ability and I was okay with not being liked,” he said.
Courtney Love criticizes Taylor Swift in recent interview
During his interview with The standardLove shared that many of the “successful women in the music industry…are becoming a cliché.”
“Now, every successful woman is cloned, so there is too much music,” she said. “They are all the same. If you play something on Spotify, you’re bombarded with a bunch of things that are exactly the same.”
He then went on to criticize Taylor Swift, among other musicians.
“[Taylor] She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of today, but she’s not interesting as an artist,” Love said.
This seemingly contradicted the lovely birthday message Love shared for Taylor on her Facebook just a few years ago.
“@taylorswift a great role model to many young women and occasional twin/neighbor,” she wrote in December 2021, adding a photo of the two singers together.
He then hit several other women. Love mentioned that Lana Del Rey “should really take seven years off.” Additionally, she said that Madonna doesn’t like her “and she doesn’t like me.”
Love also came towards Beyoncé when she said “I just don’t like her music.”
“I mean, I like the idea of Beyoncé making a country record because it’s about black women entering spaces where only white women were allowed before, not that I like that very much,” she said.
Despite her new series’ intention to help other women in the industry, Love appears to be doing the opposite. According to many angry fans:
“Courtney Love publicly disparages other female artists like it’s a national sport,” one person said.
“Okay, Taylor’s IK for her music and Courtney Love’s IK for her relationship with Kurt Cobain, how about we stop putting women down with Courtney,” said another.
