Recently I saw two interviews, one with Victoria Beckham, the other one with Elton John. They were talking about their past experiences and that's the phrasing they used:

But it wouldn't have happened if we HADN'T HAVE GONE to the Ukraine. (Elton)

And I probably would still be that way if I HADN'T HAVE MET the girls. (Victoria)

Is there any explanation behind the grammar written in capital letters?

This double perfect is common in spoken English but not as yet taught as correct, please follow this link to a previous answer.

(Is 'had have + past participle' a correct grammatical form?)
