Taylor Swift Is “Not Important,” Chides Courtney Love; Hole Singer Also Takes Swipes At Beyoncé, Madonna & Lana Del Rey

With a new BBC radio series now launched, Courtney Love is once again proving the power of the adage “go large or go home.” In a wide ranging interview with the UK’s Evening Standard today, the former Hole front woman puts forth her take on some of the biggest names in the music industry.

Let’s just say, Love bites in deep in the newspaper, to quote from her 1998 tune Celebrity Skin, to get her pound of flesh from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Madonna and recent Coachella headliner Lana Del Rey. “Taylor is not important,” the People vs.

Larry Flint star says of the superstar. “She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist,” Love added.

The contrarian opinion on Swift is a big shift from where Love was on the Folklore singer just over two years ago. Back in a Facebook post on December 22, 2021, Love wished Swift a “happy birthday” and called her an “aspirational huge role model for many young women.” The post also features a photo of Love and her “occasional hair twin/neighbor.” No word on why the Swift love from Love has eroded, but it’s worth noting that in 2021, she didn’t have an eight-part BBC Radio 6 series on Woman in music to promote.
