40 Notorious Love Triangles That Went Down In Music History
Rock and roll is crammed with songs about love, lust, and wild lifestyles — but they're nothing compared to what really goes on behind the music. These rock and pop stars have all had their notorious love triangles splashed across the headlines. And while the sordid tales rarely have happy endings, they do offer fascinating glimpses into the lives of the rich and the famous...
Taylor Swift, Joe Jonas, Camilla Belle
Taylor Swift was very clear about the reason she broke up from Joe Jonas: because he preferred actress Camilla Belle over her. Belle was then the subject of some of Swift’s cattiest ever lyrics in the song “Better Than Revenge” – “She’s an actress/She’s better known/ for the things that she does on the mattress.”
Drake, Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott
Jenner and Scott went on a break in 2019, and fans wondered if they were done for good. Then just a few days afterwards Jenner was seen getting very close to Drake at a party. This apparently led Scott to refer to Jenner as “my beautiful wife” in concert later, although the two aren’t actually married. Whatever happened with Drake seems to be over now though, because Jenner’s back with Scott and expecting baby no. 2.
Taylor Swift, John Mayer, Katy Perry
The Swift-Perry feud ended in 2019 – as far as we know anyway – but what caused it in the first place? Allegedly both of them being romantically entangled with singer-songwriter John Mayer didn’t help matters. Or at least, the conflict really seemed to kick into overdrive when Perry began dating Swift’s famous ex. And Tay’s not a girl to mess with – her song about Mayer, Dear John, is positively scathing.
Nancy Sinatra, Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner
Frank Sinatra may have been a gifted singer, but a faithful husband he was not. While married to Nancy he had many affairs, the most intense being with actress Ava Gardner. In 1951 he finally got a divorce and married her, but even then the marriage only lasted six years. If only someone had thought to make “Team Nancy” and “Team Ava” t-shirts back then.
