Noel Gallagher's scathing views on Taylor Swift as she releases Life of a Showgirl

Noel Gallagher has some blistering views on Taylor Swift. The Oasis legend has never minced his words when it comes to sharing what is really on his mind, and his thoughts on Taylor are no different.

Today, the 35-year-old releases her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, which is expected to run straight to the top of the charts across the globe. The album was recorded between shows on her mammoth Eras Tour, which saw Swift travel to Sweden in order to put her vocals on the 12 tracks.

But while Taylor has an army of millions of fans, Noel, 58, isn't at the top of the list; instead, he has no idea how the singer became one of the most successful female musicians of all time. Speaking in 2015, Noel revealed that he believed only Taylor's parents had told her she was talented.

"Who says that? Her parents? She seems like a nice girl, but no one has ever said those words, and you f***ing know it," he told Rolling Stone. In another interview, he said: "I don't know anyone in my life who's a fan. I'm not sure how she's gotten to where she's gotten. How's that happened?"

Speaking to Stereogum, Noel was asked whether Swift's "business savvy" nature had helped her achieve such astronomical success. He said: "A lot of these young pop stars are now. They’re more about the brand. They’re very aware of how they put themselves out in the digital age and that kind of thing.

"It's weird for a 50-year-old guy to see it, but I've got a 17-year-old daughter, she can't believe we lived the way we lived. She's like, 'Are you f***ing idiotic?' And we were like, 'Well, yeah,' so, for the young'uns, [Swift] and Ed Sheeran and all that mob, that's just the way they do things. If we're going to discuss the musical notes, forget it. It's not for me, she seems like a nice kid, though, right?"

But while Noel isn't a fan, his younger brother, Liam, certainly is. He previously said he didn't know what "pop music is," before telling Newsweek: "Taylor Swift makes some good pop songs. You know what I mean? Shake It Off is a f***ing tune."

Earlier today, Taylor spoke to Hits Radio Breakfast Show hosts Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr about her 12th studio album. She said: "One thing about this album that I think is really exciting is that oftentimes when I make a record there's like a lag time between when I made it and when it enters the world.

"Like for example, my last album, The Tortured Poets Department, by the time that album came out, I was in a completely different point in my life. With this one I would say that this album is a complete and total snapshot of what my life looks like right now."

She later told Magic Radio Breakfast that she was aiming for "perfection" with the record. She told hosts Harriet Rose and Gok Wan: "With this album I was very specific about the vision for it being a short, concise, almost in my mind I had the perfect album as an idea. Perfection is unobtainable, we know that conceptually it's a problematic thing to think about perfect.

"But I meant perfect in the idea that each song has a place, it can't be swapped out with anything else it fits perfectly together. So that's when I knew that we had made, in my mind, the perfect album for this moment in my life was when we wrote Wi$h Li$t because it really does get me, it's really emotional and it's a very accurate stance of where I am in my life and it was a feeling of we're done now."
