It sounds trivial on the surface, but it can really cause issues (allow me to explain).
For one reason or another- or more likely- many reasons, your favorite artist is very important to you, and their impact on your life extends far beyond just the music. They're special and unique in the sense that who they are and what they do serves to define you in some sense.
It's difficult to articulate properly, but I know from experience it's dificult to date someone who hates your fave. My ex hated Gaga and thought she was a racists, cultural appropriating, gay-using anti-feminists. No fu*king lie. And it drove me to the edge.
But there's a silver lining to the situation. Someone who is truly mature and capable of being in a relationship (and likes you of course) is not going to push the issue of insulting things/people/
anything that you like or that has importance for you. They'll respectfully concede. And if they
continuously disrespect your fave to your face then you might as well prepare for when they start trashing your beliefs and perspectives on larger, more important topics (trust me, it'll happen.)
Basically, if they don't then stop the criticism then it's really a symptom of a larger issue which is that they are simply incapable of (or at least suck at) either empathy or accommodating your perspective (a.k.a YOU) into their life.
You could say to my face that you hated Xtina and I wouldn't even blink an eye like boo there's more important things in life.
