John Lydon Slams ‘Dull’ Taylor Swift, Sex Pistols’ ‘Karaoke’ Reunion Tour in New Interview


The always acerbic John Lydon slammed "dull" Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and the "Johnny Rotten"-less Sex Pistols reunion tour in a new interview.

“Lady Gaga was a massively layered and textured presentation – very Bowie era and pop music at its finest,” Lydon said before adding that now “she’s acting in films, and I don’t like her as a human being. Lydon’s former Sex Pistols band mates Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, and Paul Cook recently announced a semi-reunion tour, with Gallows’ singer Frank Carter substituting for Johnny Rotten. Elsewhere in the NME interview, Lydon talked about inspiring Heath Ledger’s Joker performance in The Dark Knight, voicing a villain in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles spinoff, getting pranked by the Ramones and more.
