Before celebrities posted cryptic Instagram captions, they wrote hit songs.

This week Kelli dives into the stories behind some of pop culture's most iconic celebrity-inspired tracks, from Amy Winehouse and Nas to Mariah Carey and Eminem, Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding, and the decades-long mystery of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain."

Get ready for love triangles, celebrity feuds, and plenty of pop culture detective work.
