Taylor Swift Is Not Important and Disses Beyoncé, Madonna

Apr 18, 2024

Courtney Love took shots at several fellow female musicians over the weekend, dissing the likes of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey and Madonna.

“Taylor is not important,” the singer said in an interview with The Standard. “She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.”

Despite the invocation of Madonna to address Swift’s success, Love didn’t spare Madonna, either: “I don’t like her and she doesn’t like me,” Love said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Love also noted she dislikes Beyoncé’s new country hit, Cowboy Carter, despite appreciating the album’s symbolism being “about Black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed.”

“As a concept, I love it,” Love said. “I just don’t like her music.”

Love went on to say she dislikes Lana Del Rey. “I think she should really take seven years off,” she said, noting she hasn’t enjoyed Lana’s music “since she covered a John Denver song.”

“Up until ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’ I thought she was great,” Love continued. “When I was recording my new album, I had to stop listening to her as she was influencing me too much.”

Love attributed many of her criticisms to what she views as female musicians converging in style.

“It’s great that there are so many successful women in the music industry, but lots of them are becoming a cliché,” she said. “Now, every successful woman is cloned, so there is just too much music. They’re all the same. If you play something on Spotify, you get bombarded with a lot of stuff that’s exactly the same.”
