THEY say all is fair in love and war – but the same certainly can’t be said for the music business.
Insiders at the Ivor Novello songwriting awards have told me that a backstage dispute is brewing between two of music’s top female stars – Lana Del Rey and Lorde.

It comes after the former accused the latter of copying the melody of two of her songs.
Such disagreements are more and more common, but in a bizarre twist, sources tell me Lorde has quietly accepted the similarity behind the scenes – but refuses to do so publicly, causing further fallout.
An insider in the songwriting industry explained, “The disagreement between Lana and Lorde has been simmering quietly for some time.
“But no one involved wants it to escalate further if possible.
Many Lana fans have reported online one of Lorde’s new songs ‘Stoned At the Nail Salon’ saying that the tune mimics two of her tracks – Wild At Heart and Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have.
“Lana’s team agreed and after an expert got involved and some discussions were debated among everyone involved, Lorde’s people came back and offered Lana a percentage of the song‘s publishing rights. . “
But I’m told that despite the offer, Lana isn’t interested in the money – just a public acknowledgment from Lorde that the track was inspired by her.
“This means that the only last way to go would be to take legal action – but everyone is very keen to avoid this to the extent possible and hope that there can be an amicable resolution. the place.
“Forensic experts agree with fans, so this seems to be a pretty clear case.”
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in showbiz, court battles never go well for anyone.

FANS who missed out on tickets to ABBA’s sold-out hologram shows next year are in luck.

At the Ivors, Bjorn also poured cold water on the possibility of a third Mamma Mia! movie.
Asked about the prospect of another installment in the film franchise, he said, “I don’t think there’s a chance of having a Mamma Mia! Three.
“You can’t get another story out of it. “
The quartet will meet again during the opening night of the concerts next May.

Maya was flying solo without Liam, who had been spotted with her at a Vogue dinner earlier in the week.

MABEL IS HEAVY PETAL
MABEL often manages to smell the rose in her choice of outfits.
But I’m not too sure about that noisy floral dress she wore to Richard Quinn’s show at London Fashion Week.
The Don’t Call Me Up singer smiled as she arrived at the party in a dress, with a huge bow and matching shoes.
During the night, she rubbed shoulders with stars including model Erin O’Connor and Olympic sprinter Dina Asher-Smith.

Mabel returned to the stage last month and performed an assault set at the Reading Festival.
It was one of the first times she had given a live performance of her latest single Let Them Know, due to the Covid pandemic – and I can confirm that she broke it.
The song is the first of Mabel’s yet to be announced second album, the sequel to 2019’s High Expectations, which was this year’s most popular debut female album.
