According to Heart’s Nancy Wilson, Courtney Love is jealous of Taylor Swift.
The singer revealed that she enjoys listening to new female artists like Swift. She also praised Swift’s songwriting and performing skills. Wilson then talked about one of the problems she may come across:
“I think the biggest problem she might have is that she’s so extremely good-looking. You know, people have jealous reactions to that stuff like that. I know Courtney Love is not a fan. I’ve been a friend of Courtney Love, but I disagree with her opinion about that.”
Love’s Words On Swift
Courtney spoke with the UK’s Standard not long ago and explained why she doesn’t like Taylor:
“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.”
She also explained why she dislikes Lana Del Rey:
“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.”
Ann Wilson’s Support For Swift
Nancy’s sister, Ann Wilson, showed support for Swift in her lawsuit against a man who groped her. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Ann said it was important to respect musicians’ rights, regardless of gender:
“We have to redefine that which we haven’t even touched. This is not a gender problem. It’s a power issue. It’s a problem of respect. When we are able to strip off the gender thing, then we’ll get somewhere.”
Love’s feelings about Swift evolved over time. In a Facebook post in December 2021, she wished Taylor a happy birthday and admired her as a role model for young girls.
