The Hole singer, 59, speaking with The Evening Standard Friday, ‘Taylor is not important. She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.’

The Doll Parts vocalist, who has been based out of London since 2019, appears to have changed her tune about Swift, who she previously praised on multiple occasions via her Facebook page.

In a February 29, 2016 post, she posed between Swift and Royals songstress Lorde, 27, after attending the Grammys in Los Angeles.

while another said, ‘New Courtney love interview? I’m sure she’ll have nothing but beautiful and generous things to say about her industry peers 🙂 Courtney is so kind.’

Some social media users said that Love’s relevance in the music industry ended decades ago, while others said her work in the 90s stood on its own merit.

‘Guys, I love Taylor the most, but ridiculous to call Courtney Love a nobody,’ one user said. ‘She’s an icon. And to say she’s just a famous guy’s ex-wife is wrong and misogynistic. Give the Hole album Live Through This a listen. Pitchfork gave it a 10 for a reason. Masterpiece.
