“You just show up and do it. And you don't worry about what everybody thinks, what everybody says, or what you get out of that,” Fox added, before he again insisted, “I think those are two [Swift and Reynolds] good people.”

Courtney Love describes Taylor Swift as ‘not interesting’

This came after Courtney Love criticized Swift as she told the UK's Evening Standard, “It’s great that there are so many successful women in the music industry, but lots of them are becoming a cliche.”

“Now, every successful woman is cloned, so there is just too much music. They’re all the same. If you play something on Spotify, you get bombarded with a lot of stuff that’s exactly the same,” she shared.

“Taylor is not important. She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist,” the 59-year-old guitarist added.

Internet divided as Michael J Fox praises Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds

Meanwhile, Fox’s views on Swift have received few mixed reactions on the internet as one social media user commented on Facebook, “She’s an artist bro calm down.”

Another one shared, “Good man.”

“Maybe she moved up the economics, but she didn't change the way how world works… give me a break. She is just a singer. Average one,” a person commented on the Daily Mail article.

Another added, “Ryan Reynolds an important person?? He's so full of himself he thinks he's an important person.”

One person asked, “Who asked you? Mike?  What, so you're a Swami now with a Crystal Ball?”
