She’s such a bitch honestly bc her and Lana used to be friends, now she’s dogging on her for a cover???

they are still friends, she even said she needed to stop listening to her while recording because of how much influenced she was

"i haven't liked lana since" sounds bad, but it's obviously about the music, not the person lol

I like Courtney’s running mouth she seems to say whatever it’s on her mind

she obviously knew mentioning Taylor or Lana would make waves online, idk at this point how many angry little stans she has pissed, nor I think she cares  it’s refreshing

Glad someone is spilling tea on Taylor. Sick of everyone acting like she's the next Bob Dylan or something when it comes to her songwriting. 

She's mid at best.

well that’s not true

At this point Taylor Swift is just a mass marketed business. She’s the Walmart and McDonald’s of the music industry.

I don’t think Taylor cares as much about the impact her music will have on the future, but more monetary valuation and consumer points for the next quarterly report. Evidenced by dumping the feminist, political, ally shtick of Miss Americana and Lover, immediately after it served her interests. 

Outside of the Taylormania vacuum, she really hasn’t done anything as important or impactful as her marketing vehicle has us to believe.

Taylor is where all the business side of the music industry wants all artists to he- appeal to the masses, sacrifice artistic growth, sell as many records as possible, and be as risk adverse as possible.

With a new BBC radio series now launched, Courtney Loveis 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.

Speaking of Madonna, the touring Material Girl is not favorite of Love’s either. “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.

Today, Beyoncé and Lana Del Rey were added to the list.

“I haven’t liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song, and I think she should really take seven years off,” Love told the Dylan Jones-led Standard. About a year or so ago, Love called Del Rey a “musical genius” and compared her to Nirvana’s Cobain.

As for the chart-topping Cowboy Carter performer, Love asserted: 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, not that I like it much. As a concept, I love it. I just don’t like her music.”

Absent Love’s love, coming off blockbuster tours last year, Swift and Beyoncé both took over the big screen with their box office topping Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé releases. Beyoncé’s March 29 dropped Cowboy Carter was her eighth consecutive number #1 album on the Billboard Top 200, and the first album by a Black woman to soar to the top of the Country charts. Swift’s new album The Tortured Poet Department comes out on April 19 and is expected to debut at number #1.

This is so extra but love that it's mentioned. I can just picture the gay intern Beyoncé or Taylor stan trying to keep his sh!t together and not drag her to the pits so just a passive aggressive comment here and there because it's his job.
