Singer Courtney Love has officially announced her plans to become a British citizen, confirming that she will permanently reside in the United Kingdom. In doing so, she also took a swipe at former President Donald Trump, calling the political climate in the U.S. “frightening.”
Courtney Love Becomes a British Citizen
The 60-year-old singer-songwriter, best known as the frontwoman of the band Hole and the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, shared her excitement over her upcoming British citizenship at a recent event in London.
Speaking at the Royal Geographical Society, Love revealed that she has been living in London since 2019 but is now making her stay permanent.
📢 “It’s so great to live here. I’m finally getting my British citizenship in six months. I get to be a citizen – I’m applying, man! Can’t get rid of me!” she said, according to a report by The Daily Mail.
Love Criticizes Trump & “Emperor-Core” Culture
During her remarks, Love also took the opportunity to criticize Trump and his allies, describing America under his influence as increasingly alarming.
📢 “In terms of Trump, and particularly this group… it’s like emperor-core – like, [they’re] wearing million-dollar watches,” she said. “Emperor-core is going on at Mar-a-Lago. It’s frightening now. It’s like cyanide now.”
🔹 What is “Emperor-Core”?
“Core” is internet slang used as a suffix to describe a particular aesthetic or trend. In this case, “Emperor-Core” is Love’s way of mocking the lavish, elitist lifestyle she believes is embraced by Trump and his inner circle.
