Courtney Love is currently promoting her new movie “Courtney Love’s Women”. In this film, Kurt Cobain’s ex-wife talks about different women in the music industry who are said to have shaped her career.

According to an interview published by Standard Monday, the 59-year-old singer said he “absolutely hates the idea” of Taylor Swift .

“Taylor doesn’t matter,” Courtney Love said of the 14-time Grammy winner: “There’s nothing important about Taylor. She can be a safe space for girls and maybe she is Madonna right now, but as an artist she’s not interesting.”

Love’s comment immediately received backlash from Taylor Swift fans. Many people pointed out that Love seemed to like Taylor Swift so much that he even sent her a happy birthday on Facebook just a few years ago.

At that time, the 59-year-old former singer wrote: “Happy late birthday @taylorswift, a huge aspirational role model for many young women…”. Love wrote this wish in December 2021 along with a photo of the two.

However, in this interview, Courtney Love not only criticized the “Anti-Hero” singer, she also didn’t hesitate when it came to Lana Del Rey – who, as she said, “should really take a seven-year sabbatical.”

Courtney Love also said that she doesn’t “like” Madonna and then, took the final shot at Beyoncé – who recently became the first woman of color to top the Top Country Albums Chart after her release “Cowboy Carter”. Love said “I just don’t like her music”.
