Taylor Swift: Last News

Kim Gordon has said she’s “not really a fan of Taylor Swift“.The Sonic Youth singer and bassist released her solo album ‘The Collective‘ in March this year, and is due to perform at Volume Festival at the Art Gallery of New South Wales on July 18 and 19.Speaking to The Guardian in a new interview, Gordon was asked her most controversial pop culture opinion.“I don’t know if it’s controversial but I’m not really a fan of Taylor Swift,” she replied. “I couldn’t tell you what her music sounded like, actually.” Instead, Gordon said she preferred “pop icons” like Billie Eilish.Gordon recently released her disorienting new single ‘ECRP’ in June to coincide with the start of her European tour for ‘The Collective’.In a four-star review of ‘The Collective’, NME wrote: “Here the 70-year-old balances her less than commercial sensibilities with crunchily on-trend production and relatable lyrics about rotten capitalism and fragile masculinity – if these sound like themes she explored during Sonic Youth’s ‘90s heyday, it only goes to show how little has changed.“Not all of these experiments quite come off: the industrial clang of ‘It’s Dark Inside’, on which she drawls, “they don’t teach clit in school / Like do Lit”, veers close to ‘Yeezus’ parody.
