I’m Rania Aniftos, it’s Tuesday, April 16 and we got to kick off the show with Courtney Love getting real about some of your faves. Courtney Love did not hold back when she talked about Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey and more. Let’s break it down. Courtney Love does not shy away from sharing her opinions while promoting her eight part audio series on the BBC, Courtney Love’s Women, The whole front woman actually admitted to not liking some women’s music. She told the Atlantic she likes the idea of Beyonce doing a country album because she’s a black woman in a commonly white space, but she doesn’t like her music. Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are the biggest women in music at the moment, but Courtney doesn’t think Taylor’s important.
