Kim Gordon is 'not a real fan' of Taylor Swift – Music News



Kim Gordon admits she's “not a real fan” of Taylor Swift.

In an interview with The Guardian published on Wednesday, the Sonic Youth singer was asked to name his “most controversial” opinion on pop culture.

“I don't know if this is controversial, but I'm not a Taylor Swift fan,” she replied. “I don't actually know what her music is like.”

However, Kim did say that she likes Billie Eilish's music.

“When it comes to pop icons, I'd choose Billie Eilish,” the 71-year-old continued.

Meanwhile, Kim was asked about artists who influenced her as a young musician.

Although she maintained that she never wanted to go into the music industry, she named several influential people.

“When I was a teenager, I listened to Billie Holiday and Joni Mitchell, but I never thought I could be a musician. I never studied music, I didn't know anything about it. There were definitely artists that influenced me, but not necessarily women – Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein, Andy Warhol,” she explained.

Despite her international success and sold-out tours, Taylor hasn't garnered industry-wide support.

Earlier this year, Courtney Love made headlines after expressing her polarizing opinions about the pop star.

“Taylor isn't important,” she told The Standard. “She may be a safe space for girls, she's probably the Madonna of today, but as an artist she's not interesting.”
