Legendary rocker Kim Gordon did not shy away from sharing her thoughts on some of the biggest names in music, including familiar faces like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish . When asked for her “most controversial pop culture opinion,” former Sonic Youth bassist Gordon, 71, had an answer ready. “I don’t know if it’s controversial but I’m not really a fan of Taylor Swift,” Gordon told The Guardian in an interview published on Wednesday, July 17.
“I couldn’t tell you what her music sounded like, actually.” Instead, Gordon noted she has a different favorite artist. “When it comes to pop icons, I would choose Billie Eilish,” she told the outlet.
When Gordon was asked about her own lyrics in February by The Guardian , she gave a shout-out to Swift, 34. “Sure I’m journalling, just like Taylor Swift,” she said. “But you know, I’m not writing about sad things.
Well I guess a little sad. There is something about that kind of writing that’s powerful. It’s something you can do right now.
” The singer-songwriter, who released The Collective earlier this year, expressed hesitancy when asked whether she would open for the Eras Tour performer. “I don’t know. Because I don’t think her audience would like it.
It has to be a little bit of a fit,” she told the outlet. “Even when Sonic Youth toured with Neil Young , it was really hard, seeing hippies sitting there giving you the finger.” Gordon noted that she was recently on a plane traveling to U.
