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

In a wide ranging interview with the UK’s 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

“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.

Speaking of Madonna, the touring Material Girl is not favorite of Love’s either – and the feeling is evidently mutual. “I don’t like her and she doesn’t like me,” the RuPaul’s Drag Race guest judge stated. “I loved Desperately Seeking Susan, but for the city of New York as much as her,” she went on to say in a stinging back-handed compliment.

Never shy to share her opinions over the years, Love in 2005 warned actresses to stay away from Harvey Weinstein. Repeating this remarks in late 2017 as the New York Times dropped its explosive expose on the now incarcerated producer, Love said her comments from 12 years beforehand had earned her CAA’s wrath. Over the decades, Love has also had sharp words for the likes of her deceased husband Kurt Cobain’s bandmate Dave Grohl, No Doubt’s and The Voice’s Gwen Stefani, Olivia Rodrigo, her almost Fight Club co-star Brad Pitt, and former Nine Inch Nails leader and soundtrack composer Trent Reznor, among many others.
