Breaking News: Courtney Love Says Taylor Swift Is ‘Not Interesting as an Artist,’ Criticizes Beyoncé, Madonna and More

I haven’t liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song, and I think she should really take seven years off. Up until ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’ I thought she was great. When I was recording my new album, I had to stop listening to her as she was influencing me too much,” the “Violet” artist said.

Love was direct when she addressed her distaste for Madonna.

“I don’t like her and she doesn’t like me,” she said, adding that while she loved the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan — which starred the pop star — it was “for the city of New York as much as her.””I mean, I like the idea of 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,” she told the publication.
