It's not every day that we're offered legit proof to an ongoing celeb controversy, so it's clear why the Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Taylor Swift drama caused such an uproar.

In case you've forgotten, Kim came forward over the weekend and shared a recording of the singer discussing "Famous" with the rapper via phone on her Snapchat as an effort to shut down this constant debate about who knew (or didn't know) what was coming. You see Kanye speaking to Swift, who is giving him the go-ahead to release it on speakerphone.

As you may remember, Yeezy released the song earlier this year, which includes a line that reads, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that b--ch famous." That caused a bit of a stir, but Yeezy assured everyone that Swift was well aware of his lyrics. Taylor said otherwise.

So what did Kim do? She showed us the damn receipts!

And now we wish we could have experienced a bunch of other pop culture moments, too—from the scandalous to the hilarious to the ridiculously romantic. Like these nine examples, for starters:

1. The Moment Zayn Malik Left One Direction: What was that conversation like when he revealed his decision to go? How did the guys really react? Was there an argument or was it just a semi-silent acknowledgement that things were about to change. If only we could've been a fly platinum record on that wall.

2. The Moment Solange Went After Jay Z and Beyoncé Was Just Chillin': OK, so we definitely got video of this infamous altercation between Bey's sister and her hubby, but you know we're still wishing for that audio. There have been a lot of theories as to what happened and what led to their confrontation, but we want the real deal.

3. The Moment Kelly Ripa Found Out Michael Strahan Was Leaving: That executive meeting already sounds awkward AF, so we could only imagine what it was like for the Live! co-host to find out at the same time as everyone else that Strahan was leaving his post and heading to Good Morning America. We'd like some video footage of that.

4. The Moment Iggy Azalea Saw That Nick Young Video: The former couple kept a united front in the beginning of this alleged cheating scandal, but you know the Aussie rapper must have had some sort of reaction to seeing the Laker player talking about being with other women, and we're guessing it wasn't pretty.

5. The Moment Jennifer Lawrence Puked in Front of Miley Cyrus: Oof, J.Law is lucky there were no video phones capturing this moment (even if we secretly wish we could've witnessed it). Regardless, she still got a bit of judgement for drinking a bit too much at a party from none other than Miley.

"I've never gone out after Golden Globes or Oscars or anything. I'm just so sick of people by that point. I'm like, 'Ugh, god!' But this time I was like, 'I'm going out.' And I puked all over," the actress admitted. "I puked on [Guy Oseary's] porch. I was in such bad condition and I look behind me while I'm puking and Miley Cyrus is there, like, 'Get it together.'"

6. The Moment Joe Jonas Broke Up With Taylor Swift on the Phone: Did we mention that phone conversation was just 27 seconds? Swift revealed that fun fact back in 2008 when talking about the young couple's split, and ever since, people have been timing mock breakup scripts to see what could have possibly been said so quickly.

7. The Moment Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher Realized They're More Than Just Friends: The pregnant actress recently opened up about the moment she realized there could be something real between her and her former TV co-star. She even dished that Kutcher invited Kunis to his housewarming party as a plan to set Mila up with one of his friends, though when she arrived to the party with a gal pal, he ditched his plan and pursued her himself. It sounds like a movie, and we wish we could've watched it unfold.

8. The Moment Drake Fought at Cheesecake Factory: One of his most notable lyrics off his Views album is from the track "Child's Play," where the rapper says, "Why you gotta fight with me at Cheesecake/ You know I love to go there." Not only did that offer a fun fact about Drizzy, but what was he fighting about? And how did this not end up on social media from a fellow diner? And what does he order from Cheesecake, because you know they have hella options.

9. The Moment Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Went on a Double Date: Similar to Mila and Ashton, these lovebirds revealed their romance began with a twist.

"We were buddies then. I remember it was funny because for about a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and all that stuff we were both single," Reynolds said during an interview. "We went on a double date. She was on a date with another guy and I was on a date with another girl.

"That was the most awkward date for their respective probably because we were just like fireworks coming across," Reynolds revealed, laughing. "It was weird at first but we were buddies for a long time. I think it's the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends."

If only we could have experienced this moment.
