Prior to Kurt Cobain's death, the late Nirvana frontman found himself in a messy love triangle involving Courtney Love and Billy Corgan.

Love later decided to leave The Smashing Pumpkins co-founder to be with Cobain; they later married in February 1992.

Love said in an extended interview clip included in the Cobain documentary Montage of Heck: "I had a crush on Kurt, he was gorgeous, I mean he was beautiful and enigmatic and evasive. This was after Reading, but I still was dating and sleeping with Billy Corgan, but he kind of lost me at this moment, this wasn't the moment that he specifically lost me, that would be about six to eight months later, but he kind of lost me at this moment."

Their relationship, however, ended following Cobain's death on April 5, 1994.

Even Hollywood's Golden Age witnessed several entanglements, including the love story of Debbie Reynolds, Eddie Fisher and Elizabeth Taylor.

The affair between Taylor and Reynolds' then-husband started following the death of the former's boyfriend, Mike Todd, due to a plane crash. They formally began seeing each other after Fisher divorced Reynolds in 1959.

In 1983, Reynolds told People: "I never felt bitter about Elizabeth. A man doesn't leave a woman for another woman unless he wants to go. You know, when Mike Todd died, I sent Eddie to help Elizabeth. I don't think she ever really loved Eddie. He was an interim interest during her mourning period."

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry's beef started when the latter ignited a relationship with John Mayer in 2012.

The Champagne Problems singer dated Mayer in 2010 and wrote the song Dear John following their breakup.

Before the release of 1989 in September 2014, Swift spoke about her "rift" with another celebrity and how it inspired her to create the track Bad Blood.

The Midnight Rain singer told Rolling Stone: "For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not. She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, 'Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?' She did something so horrible. I was like, 'Oh, we're just straight-up enemies.' And it wasn't even about a guy! It had to do with business."

She added: "She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I'm surprisingly non-confrontational – you would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now I have to avoid her. It's awkward, and I don't like it."

The following day, Perry posted a cryptic tweet warning everyone about "the Regina George in sheep's clothing", referencing a Mean Girls character. When asked whether the tweet was about Swift, she told Billboard: "If somebody is trying to defame my character, you're going to hear about it."

The two later buried the hatchet, as Perry attended the Eras Tour in Sydney in February.

Sabrina Carpenter, Joshua Bassett and Olivia Rodrigo

New drama arose when Olivia Rodrigo released her hit anthem Drivers License, which reportedly shaded Sabrina Carpenter and Joshua Bassett's relationship. The earlier version of the track reportedly had the lyric, "brunette girl," but the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star changed it to "blonde girl".

One week later, Bassett released his single, Lie Lie Lie, which fans believed was a response to Rodrigo's song. Carpenter also dropped Skin, which contained the line "Maybe 'blonde' was the only rhyme."

On the other hand, Rodrigo dismissed the theories and explained why it was impossible for her to reference Carpenter in her track.

She told Radio.com: "I think we've met once or twice in passing, but I've never had a conversation with her, so I don't think I could write a song that was meaningful or emotional about somebody that I don't know."
