Former Hole singer Courtney Love called Taylor Swift not important in an interview that trashed several popular singers, including Beyonc .

Love, the widow of Kurt Cobain, was promoting her BBC radio show celebrating womens music in an interview with the Evening Standard tabloid that published Sunday.

However, some of her comments did anything but that.

Taylor is not important, she said. She might be a safe space for girls, and shes probably the Madonna of right now, but shes not interesting as an artist.

Love, who now lives in London, also took pot shots at Lana Del Rey, Beyonc and Madonna.

I havent liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song, and I think she should really take seven years off, she said of Del Rey.

I like the idea of Beyonc doing a country record because its about Black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed, not that I like it much, she said about Bey and her Billboard No. 1 album, Cowboy Carter . As a concept, I love it. I just dont like her music.

Loves criticism of Madonna got more personal.

I dont like her and she doesnt like me, she said. I loved Desperately Seeking Susan, but for the city of New York as much as her.

In 2021, Love beefed with Olivia Rodrigo , accusing her of copying Holes Live Through This 1994 album cover for a promotional photo.

Hole, the alternative rock band Love founded in 1989, was nominated for several Grammys in the late 1990s. Love also had notable acting turns in Milos Formans The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon. She later did television work and has a couple film projects in the works, according to IMDb .
