Love recently spoke with 'The Standard' and had something to say about a few fellow female musicians, according to 'The Hollywood Reporter.'.
Taylor is not important, Courtney Love, to 'The Standard'.
She might be a safe space for girls,
and she’s probably the Madonna of now,
but she’s not interesting as an artist, Courtney Love, to 'The Standard'.
