Kim Gordon is “not a real fan” of Taylor Swift

Kim Gordon has admitted that she is “not really a fan” of Taylor Swift.

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

“I don’t know if it’s controversial, but I’m not a huge Taylor Swift fan,” she replied. “I couldn’t actually tell you what her music sounds like.”

However, Kim noted that she likes Billie Eilish’s music.

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

Elsewhere, Kim was asked about the artists who inspired her as a young musician.

Although she stressed that she has no aspirations to get into the music business, the star listed several influential names.

“As a teenager, I listened to Billie Holiday and Joni Mitchell. But I never thought it was possible to be a musician. I never studied music or knew anything about music. There are certainly artists, but not necessarily female artists, that I was influenced by – artists like Lucio Fontana or Yves Klein, even Andy Warhol,” she explained.

Despite Taylor’s international success and sold-out tours, she has not been able to win over the entire industry.

Earlier this year, Courtney Love made headlines when she expressed some polarizing views about the pop star.

“Taylor is not important,” she told The Standard. “She may be a safe place for girls and she is probably the Madonna of today, but as an artist she is not interesting.”
