Courtney Love is Making Her U.K. Move Permanent, Calls Trump 2.0 “Emperor-core”

by

Courtney Love revealed recently that she intends to relocate to the United Kingdom. The renowned musician and actor has voiced her disapproval of President Donald Trump, labeling him and his associates as “emperor-like.

60-year-old Love, who has resided in London for a span of five years, intends to permanently settle in the UK, as she shared during an event at the Royal Geographical Society on March 4th in London. The musician is actively pursuing British citizenship and anticipates becoming an official expatriate by the end of 2025, Love announced to the crowd, who greeted her news with enthusiastic applause.

At the gathering, she expressed her delight, saying, “I’m absolutely thrilled to be here!” She continued by expressing her joy about residing there, adding, “In half a year, I’ll officially become a British citizen. It’s an honor to join the ranks of citizenship. I’ve submitted my application, so you can’t shake me off!

At the gathering, Love engaged in discussion with playwright Todd Almond and delivered a rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” as a tribute.

Love, once infamous for her boldness during the ’90s alt-rock era, has built a reputation over four decades for fearlessly expressing her views in the public eye. At the recent event, she fiercely criticized the Trump administration, labeling the new U.S. leader, his team, and cabinet appointees as elitist, imperialistic, and a poisonous influence similar to cyanide.

As a gamer, I’d say it feels like we’ve stumbled into an exclusive gaming clan here, but it’s not your average one. This group is more like the VIP room of gaming, where everyone flaunts high-end gear – think rare virtual items or million-dollar watches in real life. We’re talking about Trump’s circle, you see. It’s like stepping into a premium game mode at Mar-a-Lago, but it’s starting to feel ominous now, as if I just drank a poison potion – that’s how ‘Emperor-core’ hits you. It’s intense, almost toxic, like cyanide in the gaming world.

Her decision wasn’t influenced by love alone, leading her to connect with the new administration, but rather, she found the stricter privacy laws in the U.K., which make it an appealing home for her, to be a significant factor. She has mentioned this point before.

Love gained prominence as a member of the alternative rock band Hole and through her relationship with Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, whom she married in 1992. Together they had a daughter named Frances Bean Cobain, but unfortunately, Kurt took his own life due to suicide following several heroin overdoses in 1994. For many years, Love resided in Los Angeles where Hole was established in 1991. However, she relocated to London, also known as The Big Smoke, in 2019. Prior to this move, Love grappled with opioid addiction, but had managed to stay sober for a year before leaving the country.

Currently in her sixties, the former fierce ruler of grunge rock is now enjoying the role of grandmother, having welcomed a grandson named Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk with her partner Riley Hawk (son of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk) in September. The couple exchanged vows in Los Angeles in October, with R.E.M.’s lead singer Michael Stipe, a close friend and godfather to Kurt Cobain, presiding over the ceremony.

Love, along with several other high-profile individuals, has opted to leave the United States and establish residency in the U.K., or deepen their ties abroad, as the second term of the Trump administration commences. Rosie O’Donnell, a vocal critic of the president, relocated to Ireland together with her 12-year-old daughter after Trump took office.

This revised version maintains the original meaning while making it more accessible and easier for readers to understand.

O’Donnell stated on TikTok that they would only return if everyone in America has the same rights and it is completely safe to do so.
