The other day, footage surfaced of Lana Del Rey performing the classic Nirvana track "Heart-Shaped Box" during a concert in Sydney, Australia. She hasn't been known to cover many songs by other artists, so naturally, the footage received a lot of exposure on the blogosphere. But now, the attention on it has reached a new height. On Sunday, Courtney Love took to her Twitter to give Del Rey some interesting insight about "Heart-Shaped Box" that neither she nor many may have known prior. According to Love, her late husband Kurt Cobain's song was written about her and partially by her. But it wasn't just a general reference to her. Apparently, the track has some pretty specific meaning. Read the tweets below to see what exactly the song is about.
