celeb news Alt rock icon Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) shades Taylor Swift, chooses Billie Eilish

[Born to Run]

Quote

What's your most controversial pop culture opinion?

 

I don't know if it's controversial but I'm not really a fan of Taylor Swift. I couldn't tell you what her music sounded like, actually. When it comes to pop icons, I would choose Billie Eilish.

Quote

I ask quickly about the love she's receiving from gen Z fans online, the vloggers obsessed with her trap sounds. Would she ever follow in the footsteps of her friends the Breeders, who are supporting Olivia Rodrigo on her arena tour this spring? What if Taylor phoned her up offering an opening slot?

 

"I don't know. Because I don't think her audience would like it. It has to be a little bit of a fit. Even when Sonic Youth toured with Neil Young, it was really hard, seeing hippies sitting there giving you the finger. Also, I couldn't tell you what her music sounds like, but I was on a plane with all her fans recently on the way to Utah and they were all wearing merch. That I quite like. I think I'd just take a sweatshirt."

It's like asking a healthy fit and training person, enjoying a healthy diet of nutritions to go and switch into Mc Donalds unhealthy and killing diet.

The AOTY was released in March, she just constantly doesn't know what Taylor sounds like I fear.

 

 

[Petra von Kant]

I mean, I'm not particularly into either of them but comparing their respective latest releases it's pretty easy to see why Kim chose Billie over Taylor

[godmess]

Can people use their common sense. Listen to Kim's music and then listen to Taylor's. It is very obvious that she genuinely would not be interested in taylors McPop. It's not shade.

[Colmillo]

This isn't even shade 

[Phaunzie]

She said what she said, clearly she does not know what a Taylor Swift even is.

Kim is a rock icon, so put some respect on her name. She's definitely not dropping Taylor for clicks. She always has opinions on big pop stars, she follows the zeitgeist even when her own **** is very far from that. She's ruthless about her rock opinions, so this Taylor mention is very mid in comparison. She wrote this messy song about Mariah for example

 

 

I do have my criticisms of her (she's very second wave feminism not like other girls chick), but I love her music too. Her memoir is great check it out too

Uglies 4 Uglies is another thread title that would work here.

[Alyssa Edwards]

Billie's consistently praised by the legends and the older generations of artists.

This ain't new, she's very respected.

As if Taylor was pretty, she's literally the plainest looking pop star ever
