Courtney Love Doesn’t Love Taylor Swift ‘Musically,’ But Says Singer’s Angry Lyrics ‘Resonate With Me’
Courtney Love says Taylor Swift's angrier lyrics 'resonate' with her, but the singer's music doesn't really land.
Courtney Love knows all about the vicissitudes of dating high-profile partners, from the constant tabloid whispers and innuendo to the line-by-line dissection of lyrics in search of clues about romantic break-ups and make-ups. “All musicians write about broken hearts: Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan (though sideways), Bowie…,” she added before dropping the Love hurts line. The Swift comments came in the same interview in which Love said that she had a crush on “Squabble Up” rapper Kendrick Lamar, who she deemed “the best hip-hop writer ever… his flow is beautiful and his lyrics thoughtful.” She also hoped the Compton MC would read her thoughts and sent some questions his way, asking if he’s ever listened to Leonard Cohen or David Bowie growing up.
