That is literally not the consensus lmao

 

It's the consensus amongst the people in my circle. Everyone's kind of tuned into other artists. Which annoys the hell out of me.

she is based for calling Taylor Swift not interesting

but I draw the line at her insulting Lana. She literally got Lana into heroin and they were high on it the entire endless summer tour (I was there). There’s also blind items about it but it’s not exactly a secret.

maybe she’s mad Lana won’t get high with her anymore, who knows.

girl wtf is u talking about

Tbh she has always been like that, sadly. I remember she said some bitter shit about Lana in 2020 as well.

Yes—in her TikTok comment section, right?

I can’t tell if this is serious or a joke but if it’s a joke it’s actually hilarious

This is dumb. I like Courtney and had the good fortune to see her at the Hollywood Bowl with Lana. Unfortunately she is still stuck in high school. The web says she's 59! Almost my age. When I was in high school it wasn't "cool" to like John Denver. Now I can appreciate so many of his songs. Brilliant songwriter. She makes her statement like a high school kid. "I can't believe you covered John Denver!"

We're way past the point of Lana needing someone's stamp of approval. 

I agree with this, and I think this is a big part of it that might get missed by people who weren't music fans in the late 80s/early 90s. John Denver was hated back then by all the cool punk/alt people - when Hole were putting out their records, there were punk covers of Country Roads that were put out with the spirit of 'let's take the shittiest song in the world and make it a funny punk song'.

[Veinsineon 77,001]

What a hit thread  let’s hope her comeback single pops off as much as this. Why are we still putting other women down in order to announce / promote YOUR output or contribution. Why can’t they ALL contribute Courtney???? Gee wiz for a punk rock chick you clearly lost the plot. 

[bluechemtrails 26,827]

It looks like Courtney had a deeper connection to Lana's music - up until Take Me Home. But I think we could get her back if Lana covers a Dolly Parton song or collabs with her, because Dolly seems to have influenced her too.

maybe she's just a John Denver hater, who knows? but not of country at all, so it's best to just let the grass grow over the matter.

[Party Favor 10,308]

taking what courtney, a known troll, says is hilarious

[Blossom 8,976]

omg I am listening to the podcast and Lana drove Courtney's daughter to Malibu everyday for 90 days when Courtney was detoxing? That is so fucking sweet of her. It baffles me that Courtney would diss her music now.

 

Also I'm laughing at Lana making her download Hinge

And why would we want to “get her back” lmao spare me

[EmptyPromises 1,414]

oh this is just Courtney being Courtney 

 

Still love her. And Taylor is boring, that much she got right

[IanadeIrey 62,105]

I’m not taking what Courtney said about Lana too seriously because it wasn’t exactly a diss - and seemed to be more about the John Denver song than anything else, as mentioned by a few users above.
 

With Courtney’s candidness, so to speak, I think she just tends to say things rather brashly and bluntly. She evidently admires and respects Lana for her own artistic integrity - not to mention the ways in which Lana has supported Courtney personally. So, I’m still a Hole / Courtney fan and I can see where the rest of her points on the other singers she mentioned are coming from… ☕️ (even if I don’t fully agree)
