Courtney Love is back in the headlines, and this time, she’s taking aim at some of music’s biggest stars. In a recent interview, the 59-year-old rocker criticized Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey, and Madonna, claiming they’re all “clones” and “not interesting.”
Love’s comments have sparked outrage among fans of the targeted artists, but the outspoken singer seems unfazed. “I always wanted to be known as a bitch,” she said. “Being liked was never my thing.”
Here’s a breakdown of Love’s fiery remarks:
On Taylor Swift: Love dismissed Swift as “not important” and “not interesting as an artist.” However, she acknowledged Swift’s popularity, comparing her to the “Madonna of now.”
On Beyoncé: Love praised Beyoncé’s concept of a country album, seeing it as a move towards inclusivity. However, she admitted to not liking Beyoncé’s music.
On Lana Del Rey: Love initially expressed admiration for Del Rey, but criticized her for covering a John Denver song and claimed she needs to “take seven years off.”
On Madonna: Love’s feud with Madonna appears to be long-standing. She admitted to disliking the pop icon, although she praised her performance in the film “Desperately Seeking Susan.”
