hearts Nancy Wilson does not agree Courtney Love‘s take over Taylor Swift.
Wilson, 70, who has been Heart’s guitarist and second vocalist since 1974, spoke in an interview with The about the young women currently dominating the music industry Tampa Bay Times. She named Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo And Maggie Rogers as some of her favorites before praising Swift, 34.
“I looked at it Epoch tour and I really love the fact that she’s doing an acoustic part all by herself,” Wilson said of Swift’s ongoing tour, which began in March 2023. “It’s such a global event, her show, but it’s important that she does it indoors.” Her show was really great and cool of her. She’s a great songwriter.”
Wilson added that she believes Swift’s “biggest problem” is “that she’s so extremely good-looking,” explaining that “people react jealously” when beautiful women are successful.
“I know Courtney Love is not a fan. “I was a friend of Courtney Love’s, but I don’t agree with her,” she added.
Love, 59, who rose to prominence as the lead singer of alternative rock band Hole in the 1980s and 1990s, made headlines earlier this month when he said: “Taylor [Swift] is not important” during an interview with the Evening standard.
“It could be a safe place for girls, and it probably is.” Madonna But as an artist she’s not interesting,” Love continued.
Wilson said Tuesday that Love’s job is to “uphold the punk ethic and go against what’s popular” and praised the “great songs” she wrote. However, she still believes she is wrong about Swift.

Love also said that many women in the music industry “become a stereotype” and admitted that she is not a stereotype Beyonce Fan.
“Every successful woman is cloned now, so there’s just too much music. They’re all the same,” she said. “When you play something on Spotify, you’re bombarded with a lot of stuff that’s exactly the same thing. I mean, I like the idea of Beyoncé making a country record because it’s about black women going into spaces that only white women used to be in, but I don’t particularly like that. As a concept I love it. I just don’t like their music.”
