Furthermore, according to her, Lana Del Rey "should really take seven years off"
See what Courtney Love had to say about Taylor Swift after sharing her opinions.
The Hole singer recently chatted with The Standard to promote her new BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Sounds series, Courtney Love's Women. Love discussed Madonna, Lana Del Rey, and Taylor Swift.
Swift has been under fire from Courtney Love in an interview with The Standard, despite the fact that she uses the Women concert to support and promote women in music. Taylor is not important, Love said to the outlet. She's the Madonna of today, and she might provide a safe haven for girls, but as an artist, she lacks intrigue.
The iconic member of Hole has claimed that Lana Del Rey and her late husband Kurt Cobain are the only two "true musical geniuses" she has ever known. However, she has now revealed that she has grown weary of Rey, the Coachella 2024 headliner, and that she stopped liking the singer-songwriter in December of last year.
Love declared, "Since Lana covered a John Denver song, I haven't liked her, and I think she should really take seven years off." She seemed wonderful to me up until "Take Me Home, Country Roads." She was affecting me too much, so I had to quit listening to her as I was making my new album.
After that, Courtney Love discussed Madonna, with whom she has had a tumultuous connection for many years. Love questioned Madonna's legitimacy as an artist in 2007. At the time, she wrote on her blog, "Madonna is a great business woman, but come on, we all know that she's weak as an artist." Although Madge is a joke as a current musician, I still admire her.
Love recently stated, "I don't like her and she doesn't like me," to The Standard. Although I enjoyed Desperately Seeking Susan just as much, I adored New York City even more.
Love also discussed Beyoncé and "Cowboy Carter" in other parts of the interview, saying, "Not that I like it much, but 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." I adore the idea as it is. Her music just doesn't appeal to me.
Love sang a duet of Hole's "Celebrity Skin" with Billie Joe Armstrong's covers group The Coverups live in London back in February. She also made an unexpected cameo at the opening gig, helping Armstrong and company with covers of Cheap Trick's "Surrender" and "He's A Whore," as well as Tom Petty's "Even The Losers." She also hinted at a potential Hole reunion.
Following the BRIT Awards 2024, Armstrong spoke with NME on his longstanding friendship with Love, saying, "We've known her since '94, she's always great! I adore Courtney, she's a wild woman with lots of amazing stories to tell, and She truly has a rock 'n' roll personality. We could hear from her more now that she's recovered from her sea sickness.
After winning the Icon Award at the 2020 NME Awards, Courtney Love talked with NME back in 2020 and shared her reasons for deciding to move to London.
"In the early 1980s, at the age of sixteen, I traveled from Liverpool to London and stayed at the Columbia in Bayswater, which was the epicenter of opulent rock and roll activity. The only thing I understood about London, she said, was how to take the tube from Bayswater to Oxford Street.
"Compared to Portland or some areas of Los Angeles, you don't have nearly as many Thought Police as you believe you do. Here, I'm free to disagree, something I haven't felt comfortable doing in the past. I became even more in love with the UK as a result of being able to read a wide range of viewpoints and engage in genuine conversation.
