Kim Gordon prefers Billie Eilish over Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift has long been a darling of the pop music scene, with a huge fan base and numerous accolades to her name. However, not everyone is a fan of her music, and Kim Gordon, former member of Sonic Youth, is one of those who doesn’t quite vibe with Swift’s sound.

In a recent interview, Gordon shared her candid opinion about Taylor Swift, stating, “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.” This statement is sure to ruffle some feathers among Swifties, but Gordon is not one to shy away from expressing her honest views.

Despite not being a fan of Swift, Gordon did mention another pop icon that she admires – Billie Eilish. It’s always interesting to see how different artists resonate with various musicians, and Gordon’s preference for Eilish shows her unique taste in music.

It’s worth noting that Gordon’s comments about Taylor Swift are not the first of their kind. Other musicians like Dave Grohl and Courteney Love have also been critical of Swift in the past. Grohl once suggested that Swift doesn’t perform live, while Love has stated that Swift is not important or interesting as an artist.

Of course, every artist has their supporters, and Swifties have been quick to defend their idol online whenever she faces criticism from other musicians. It’s all part of the vibrant and sometimes contentious world of music fandom.

When it comes to Gordon’s own musical influences, she looks back to artists like Billie Holiday and Joni Mitchell from her teenage years. These iconic women paved the way for future generations of female musicians, inspiring Gordon and many others to pursue their musical dreams.

However, Gordon doesn’t limit her influences to just musicians. She also cites artists like Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein, and Andy Warhol as sources of inspiration. This eclectic mix of artistic influences contributes to Gordon’s unique and multifaceted approach to her own music.

As Gordon prepares for her performances at the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ Volume festival, her opinions on Taylor Swift may have stirred up some controversy, but they also remind us that music is a deeply personal and subjective experience. Whether you’re a Swift fan, a Gordon enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys exploring different genres and styles, there’s a place for everyone in the diverse world of music.
