The Hole singer, took to Instagram to share a video of her singing the track with Baby Queen, who strums along on an acoustic guitar. You can view it below.
Despite initially being a sceptic of the New York band, Love then shared that her “Geese-curious [stance] has turned into Geese-blossoming-appreciation”.
“I’m fully liking it,” she added of their latest album ‘Getting Killed’, describing their sound as “Daniel Johnston-meets-Rolling Stones”, and quipping that Cameron Winter “sounds like a 600-year-old man… in the best way”.
“He’s a fucking, seriously good lyricist. Like, a seriously good lyricist. Seriously,” she added, saying that she was going to see them live while they were on tour in the UK, and re-emphasised that she hears a “naive” influence from The Rolling Stones which you can only spot “if you’re open-minded”.
Love then went on to suggest she had faced some backlash over her comments on the former NME Cover stars, and had some “gatekeeping elder millennial troll fans” reaching out to her since she first shared her interest in the New York band.
“I want to talk a little bit about their fans. Their gatekeeping elder millennial troll fans. I love my trolls… but the Geese trolls are like another kettle of fish,” she said at the time. “I feel like it’s 1990 and I’m trying to impress Sonic Youth again. I’m a cool old lady who likes a band, get off my back,” she went on, sharing that fans have told her to “Leave them alone”.
As promised she did make an appearance at their show at the band’s Eventim Apollo show in London, which NME awarded five stars.
2025 marked a huge year for Geese thanks to the release of their latest album, ‘Getting Killed’, which was given a five-star review from NME, and later landed at the Number One spot on our 50 Best Albums of the year list.
Their track ‘Taxes’ from the record also came in at Number Two in NME‘s 50 best songs of 2025 list.
Elsewhere, Baby Queen previously spoke about how Love supported her when she was making her debut album ‘Quarter Life Crisis’.
She said at the time: “Everyone’s been really lovely. I’ve had the full rundown from Courtney Love per track. She’s just really supportive, and she likes to tell me which ones she doesn’t like.
“And then, you can tell which ones she’s going to like. She loves the second track ‘Kid Genius’. And then, this song called ‘Every Time I Get High’, which have a rock energy to them. And they’re very empowered. And she loves Baby Queen.”
